🔴 Red Bubble 🔴 The nebula SNR 0509-67.5 (nicknamed the Red Bubble) is the result of a supernova explosion of a star! This sphere of gas is the result of gas that’s being shocked by the expanding blast wave of the supernova. The Red Bubble is 23 light-years across and is expanding at a rate of about 11 million miles per hour (5,000 kilometers per second)! Visualization credits: NASA, ESA, and G. Bacon, T. Borders, L.
