Supernova remnant in Small Magellanic Cloud, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image. The supernova remnant (blue, centre, 1E ) is the location of a neutron star that has been observed by the HST and other telescopes (see images C040/2809 and C040/2810). The Small Magellanic Cloud is around 200,000 light years from Earth, with this supernova remnant in the constellation of Tucana. Part of the massive star-forming region N76, also known as Henize 1956, is at lower right (green and pink). This image was obtained using ultraviolet, optical and infrared sensors on two HST instruments, the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). Image published in 2018.
