Another stunning image from the NASA website has become my new desktop image at work. This image was apparently captured over 30 by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. This image comes from the remnants of a supernova within the Large Magellanic Cloud. It's amazing to think that we can observe something that is not only unbelievably far away, but originally occurred over 5,000 years ago.
Wow...
