Can you see the blue insect-like goggles on the face of Vela shown here?
The brightest glowing filaments of hot ionised O3 create extraordinary forms and shapes in the vast Vela Supernova Remnant, an expanding debris cloud from the death explosion of a massive star.
Light from the supernova explosion that created the Vela remnant reached Earth about 11,000 years ago. Contrasted against the red Ha rich background these forms are more clearly seen in this starless image (Starnet++).

PS: Needed something to cheer myself up after the recent cancellation of my first trip to NYC/NEAIC next weekend. Hope you like it!
