What do all these Hubble images have in common?
They show the aftermath of stars that died in a bright, powerful explosion known as a supernova.
In a supernova, a star’s contents fling out into space at speeds of up to 25,000 miles (15,000 to 40,000 km) per second!
These supernova remnants are made of material from the exploded star and any interstellar material it sweeps up in its path. Read more about supernova remnants and other types of nebulae
