This is the cosmic Spaghetti Nebula! This ionized gas is a remnant of a star that exploded 3,000 light-years away! It spans 160 light-years across. Captured in hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue-green), it’s a testament to the universe’s powerful artistry.

Stunning image of the Spaghetti Nebula (Simeis 147 or Sharpless 2-240), a supernova remnant spanning nearly 3 degrees across the sky. The intricate filaments of glowing ionized hydrogen and oxygen gas are beautifully captured in red and blue-green hues. This cosmic masterpiece is approximately 3,000 light-years away and is estimated to be 40,000 years old, a testament to the power of stellar explosions.

Stunning image of the Spaghetti Nebula (Simeis 147 or Sharpless 2-240), a supernova remnant spanning nearly 3 degrees across the sky. This detailed composite shows intricate filaments of glowing ionized hydrogen gas, the aftermath of a massive stellar explosion that occurred approximately 40,000 years ago. The remnant, located about 3,000 light-years away, is also home to a neutron star.

Rapid unscheduled disassembly: Spaghettitåken er resulatet av en stjerne som gikk supernova for 40000 år siden. Jeg brukte 11 timers eksponering for å få den noenlunde frem. Den er ikke synlig med det blotte øyet, og ligger 3000 LY unna oss. #astrophotography #spaghettinebula
