Lonely Neutron Star, x-rays, variant
Edited Chandra Space Telescope image of 1E0102.2-7219 and its associated neutron star. X-Ray-only image. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: A composite image of the supernova 1E0102.2-7219 contains X-rays from Chandra (blue and purple), visible light data from VLT’s MUSE instrument (bright red), and additional data from Hubble (dark red and green). A neutron star, the ultra dense core of a massive star that collapses and undergoes a supernova explosion, is found at its center.
