Data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory give new detail into the heart of supernova remnant W28. In this close-up view of the center of the remnant, low-energy X-rays are colored red, the medium are green, and the highest found by Chandra are blue. The Chandra data show the shape and extent of the high-energy emission in the central region. By studying W28 and others like it, astronomers hope to better understand the complexities involved when a star explodes in a crowded neighborhood. |
