The Mercury- Cadmium-Telluride (HgCdTe) Detector – FPA<br />

October 24, 2011 - All Eyes on Oldest Recorded Supernova<br />

This image combines data from four different space telescopes to create a multi-wavelength view <strong>of</strong> all that remains <strong>of</strong> the oldest documented example <strong>of</strong> a<br />

supernova, called RCW 86. The Chinese witnessed the event in 185 A.D., documenting a mysterious "guest star" that remained in the sky for eight months.<br />

X-ray images from the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton Observatory and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory are combined to form the blue and<br />

green colors in the image. The X-rays show the interstellar gas that has been heated to millions <strong>of</strong> degrees by the passage <strong>of</strong> the shock wave from the<br />

supernova.<br />
