Can I ask you… your name? :

Seen by @NASAHubble, this delicate red ribbon crossing the cosmos is a remnant of a supernova that was viewed by humans 1,000 years ago from 7,000 light-years away. The name of this stellar explosion is SN 1006, and was observed in 1006 A.D. It would have been the brightest star ever seen by humans—so bright that it could be seen during the daytime.

A supernova is the explosive death of a white dwarf, the last stage of life of a Sun-like star. This twisted filament corresponds with where the blast is sweeping through surrounding gas. The diameter of this supernova is nearly 60 light-years, and is still expanding at a speed of about 6 million miles per hour (about 9.6 million kilometers per hour).

Image description: A thin, red ribbon of gas crosses diagonally over the scene. Details in the trail show dimension and twisting of the stream of matter. In the background, black space is dotted with yellow stars and galaxies.
