Kepler supernova
An image of the Kepler supernova remnant, taken in three wavelengths: visible (yellow; Hubble), infrared (red; Spitzer), and X-ray (blue; Chandra). New analyses of the X-ray images allow scientists to determine the most probable distance to the object: about twenty-one thousand light-years.
