Try As I Might,

I still cannot comprehend the vastness of space, 

all images courtesy of CTIO/NOIRLab/DOE/NSF/AURA. Image processing by T.A. Rector (University of Alaska Anchorage/NSF’s NOIRLab), M. Zamani & D. de Martin (NSF’s NOIRLab), take the images in this post, approximately 11,000 years ago in Vela, a constellation about 800 light-years away from Earth, a star exploded,

and these are the dramatic pictures of it, captured by the Dark Energy Camera at the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile,

when the star originally exploded, its outer edges were ripped off and launched outward, emitting a shockwave that appears as a bright band that cuts down the centre. The stringy blue and yellow components nearby are a mix of hot gas from the shockwave and interstellar matter. Researchers explain further:

'After shedding its outer layers, the core of the star collapsed into a neutron star—an ultra-dense ball consisting of protons and electrons that have been smashed together to form neutrons. The neutron star, named the Vela Pulsar, is now an ultra-condensed object with the mass of a star like the Sun contained in a sphere just a few kilometres across. Located in the lower left region of this image, the Vela Pulsar is a relatively dim star that is indistinguishable from its thousands of celestial neighbours. Still reeling from its explosive death, the Vela Pulsar spins rapidly on its own axis and possesses a powerful magnetic field'.

how much you will weigh when travelling, your weight on earth converted for your weight on the moon, Jupiter and Mars, no intergalactic traveller should be without one of these, found on Pinterest.
