Huge blood bubbles out of Earth

Remnants of a supernova explosion are shaped like giant red bubbles in the universe.

The US and European Hubble Space Telescope discovered the remnant gas cloud of a supernova explosion in the Dorado constellation, which is 150,000 light years away from the Earth. Scientists call it SNR 051 9, NASA said.

The fuzzy gas cloud creates a shape like a giant fuzzy bubble. It is a remnant of a supernova explosion from about 600 years ago. Experts identified SNR 0519 as a white dwarf before it exploded.

SNR 0519 is in the Large Magellanic Cloud - a dwarf galaxy near the Milky Way and contains countless beautiful celestial bodies. It is not the only "blood bubble" in the large Magellanic Cloud. A few years ago, Hubble discovered an object of the same shape SNR 0519 in this galaxy.
