This is a picture of a supernova SNR 0509-67.5. The impressive thing about this particular supernova is that the companion star of the exploded star is not visible. There is no visible light where the star should be, but it must exist. Therefore the companion star is suspected to be a faint white dwarf that is similar to the detonated star. This picture was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in visible light, x-ray light, and red imaged/false green imaged light.
