NASA’s Fermi Confirms 'PeVatron' Supernova Remnant

Explore the aftermath of a stellar explosion 🎆 The remnants of an exploded star called Supernova 1987A lie situated between red-colored gas in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. First observed in February 1987, this supernova is surrounded by rings of material that existed before the explosion. Energy from the outburst illuminated these rings along with two faint outer rings. Visualization credit: NASA, ESA, and G. Bacon (STScI) Music credit: “Soaring Beyond,” Dan
