Vela supernova remnant
The Vela supernova remnant, in the southern constellation Vela, is one of the closest known supernova remnants to Earth, being around 800 light-years away. Its source Type II supernova exploded approximately 11,000 years ago. The association of the Vela supernova remnant with the Vela Pulsar was made by astronomers at the University of Sydney in 1968; this, along with the Crab Pulsar, was among the first direct observational evidence that supernovae form neutron stars. This astrophotograph of the Vela supernova remnant was taken by the European Southern Observatory's VLT Survey Telescope at the Paranal Observatory in Chile in 2022. The image has a field of view of 84 arcminutes and was produced as a mosaic of observations with four filters, here represented by the colours magenta, blue, green and red. The supernova remnant appears as wisps of pink and orange clouds, with stars in blue and yellow scattered throughout.Photograph credit: European Southern Observatory / TIMER survey
