NASA. LARGE FORMAT. DEEP SPACE. This strange photograph show - Lot 266
NASA. LARGE FORMAT. DEEP SPACE. This strange photograph shows a field of debris glowing in X-rays. It is the result of the explosion of a star some 4,500 years ago. This object belongs to a particular class of supernova called Type Ia. Astronomers believe that a Type Ia supernova involves a thermonuclear explosion - involving the fusion of elements and the release of large amounts of energy - of a white dwarf star in close orbit with a companion star. 2015. Vintage chromogenic print. Numbering on front. Legend on back label. 40.6 x 40.6cm with margins.
