(NASA. LARGE FORMAT. DEEP SPACE. SUPERNOVA Ia) This strange photograph represents a debris field, which shines in the X-rays. It is the result of the explosion of a star about 4500 years ago. This object belongs to a particular class of supernovas called type Ia. Astronomers believe that a Type Ia supernova involves a thermonuclear explosion - involving the fusion of elements and the release of large amounts of energy - of a white dwarf star in close orbit with a companion star. 2015.Vintage chromogenic print.
