Check out the stunning view of the SN 1006 supernova remnant captured by Xtend!

This celestial marvel lies in the Lupus constellation, roughly 7,000 light-years away. Over the past millennium, it has expanded to a 65 light-years in diameter, still expanding at 5,000 km/s.

The spectrum captured by Resolve in the central region of the Perseus Cluster of galaxies! 🌌

Located 240 million light-years away, the Perseus cluster is the brightest and most massive cluster of galaxies observed in X-ray.
