Tycho's Supernova Remnant. In 1572, the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe observed and studied the explosion of a star that became known as Tycho's supernova. More than four hundred years later, this photo of the supernova remnant shows an expanding bubble of multimillion degree debris (green and red) inside a shell of extremely high energy electrons (filamentary blue) expanding at an estimated 5000 km/s. photo from Chandra X-ray observatory.
As far as my research is able to ascertain, I believe this image to be a part of the public domain and free of any copyright restrictions. However if you are intending to use it commercially it is recommended to make sure that there are no restrictions for your use in your country.
