   What is SN 1006?

   • A new image of SN 1006 from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory reveals this supernova remnant in exquisite detail. By overlapping ten different pointings of Chandra’s field-of-view, astronomers have stitched together a cosmic tapestry of the debris field that was created when a white dwarf star exploded, sending its material hurtling into space.

   Nov 4, 2013 · SN 1006 (also known as SNR G.327.6+14.6) is the remnant of a Type Ia supernova that occurred some 7,200 light-years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Lupus (the Wolf). The supernova was widely seen on Earth in the year 1006 A.D. and is currently about 70 light-years across.
