Gas bubbles SNR B0509-67.5 in images taken Hubble Space Telescope
Recently, scientists found gas bubbles in space that allegedly formed from supernova explosion four centuries ago. The gas bubble is red, much like decoration that hung on the Christmas tree.
Based on reports the Daily Mail, the image of the bubble is captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Known, the supernova explosion that produced a bubble that occurred in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy is 160,000 light years from Earth.
Gas bubbles are named SNR B0509-67.5 or simply SNR 0509. Bubble diameter of 23 light years and continues to expand by 11 million kilometers per hour. The image is actually a bubble of gas has been arrested several times.
The exterior of the gas bubbles have a ripple or wave. The researchers estimate, it is caused by the ambient interstellar gas density even though they are not so sure.
By the age of 400 years until today, the supernova that formed gas bubbles is expected to be viewed by residents of southern hemisphere in 1600. However, not known of the new stars that formed at that time.
Type of supernova that resulted in the formation of gas bubbles is Type 1a. The explosion occurred due to rob a white dwarf star material that was conceived by its partner, take it so much that eventually exploded.
