Chandra X-ray Image of SNR 0519-69.0
Supernovas and their remnants have proven to be of profound
significance: for understanding the origin of the elements that are
necessary for life, as cosmic laboratories for studying extreme
physics, and as distant lighthouses that tell us about the accelerating
expansion of the Universe. This Chandra X-ray image shows SNR 0519-69.0, a supernova remnant located in
the Large Magellanic Cloud about 160,000 light years from Earth. SNR 0519-69.0 was observed on June 21, 2000.

| 4-Panel of Planetary Nebulas with Scale Bars
These composite images from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope show part of the unfolding drama of the last stages of the evolution of sun-like stars. Dynamic elongated clouds envelop bubbles of multimillion-degree gas, seen in X-rays, produced by high-velocity winds from dying stars.
