The image shows a space object called G261.9+5.5, which is estimated to be more than a million years old.

Scientists after gaining access to the supercomputer system published an image of the supernova remnant G261.9 + 5.5. This was reported by Science Alert.

This object, estimated to be over a million years old and located between ten and 15,000 light-years from Earth, was discovered in 1967 by radio astronomer Eric R. Hill.

The spikes seen in the G261.9+5.5 radio image come from high-energy electrons trapped in compressed fields. They carry information about the history of the exploded star and aspects of the surrounding interstellar medium.

Supernova remnants (SNR) are the remains of powerful explosions from dying stars. The ejected material from the explosion is ejected out into the surrounding interstellar medium at supersonic speeds, blowing away the gas and any material it encounters, compressing and heating them in the process.

It was previously reported that Hubble, using the ACS (Advanced Camera for Surveys) camera, took a picture of a cloudy scene in the Orion Nebula.
