A 2007 composite image titled “A Supernova’s Shockwaves”, from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory, was featured on 7/19/22 as NASA’s “Image of the Day”. Supernovas are the explosive deaths of the universe's most massive stars. In death, these objects blast powerful waves into the cosmos, destroying much of the dust surrounding them.This image shows the remnant of such an explosion, known as N132D, and the environment it is expanding into.
