In this pointillist image of supernova remnant N132D, the pink sections correspond to hydrogen gas, while the traces of purple correspond to regions of oxygen. These are "the remains of a star 10 to 15 times the mass of the sun that we would have seen exploding as a supernova 3,000 years ago," NASA says.
