NASA has released mesmerising pictures of a small section of a supernova captured by the Hubble telescope. The Cygnus supernova blast wave has been located around 2,400 light-years away from Earth. The supernova has a peculiar position in the northern constellation of Cygnus (the Swan) where it covers an area 36 times larger than the full Moon. The supernova explosion took place between 10,000 to 20,000 years ago.
