Product Details
One day just over a thousand years ago, something unprecedented appeared in the sky. The year was 1054 and the Chinese and Arabic astronomers who observed the phenomenon noted a brightness that increased with remarkable speed.
This was the result of something we now know to be caused by the massive explosion of a star with a mass roughly ten times that of the sun itself – a phenomenon known as a supernova.

Series: Beauty of the Universe - Supernova
After millions of years, the star in question had run out of hydrogen nuclei "fuel" and, stabilized throughout the duration of its life by the pressure created by the nuclear fusion taking place within it, had collapsed under the effect of its own gravity. This occurred first in the outer layers before rebounding explosively. Since then, the stellar remnant and wind pulsar, known as the Crab Nebula, has been moving away from the former center of the explosion at a speed of several million kilometers per hour.


With a waved edge and a convex reverse, Supernova also has a concave obverse that depicts the Crab Nebula, the remnant of the supernova observed in 1054, which is some 6,500 light years away from Earth and around 11x7 light years in size. "NGC 1952" refers to the catalog designation of the Crab Nebula.
