New data from Chandra X-ray Observatory has provided stringent constraints on the environment around one of the closest supernovas discovered in decades. On January 21, 2014, astronomers witnessed a supernova soon after it exploded in the Messier 82, or M82, galaxy. Telescopes across the globe and in space turned their attention to study this newly exploded star. Astronomers determined that this supernova, dubbed SN 2014J, belongs to a class of explosions called “Type Ia” supernovas. This image contains Chandra data, where low, medium, and high-energy X-rays are red, green, and blue respectively. Learn more here: buff.ly/1yC1nn0
