This star was first seen exploding with the naked eye by thousands on Earth in the 1800s. Still to this day -
when Hubble took this picture- the explosion is STILL
expanding into space. Imagine an explosion so powerful
that after more than 150 years, it is still expanding.
Whoah!!!

Heh .. imagine an explosion so big that it's still expanding, and that it has been expanding since the beginning of the universe. Remember that little thing called the Big Bang?

@bodhisattva

That thing is probably millions of lightyears away. So that explosion happened millions of years ago and we're just seeing it.

wonder how it looks like right now.

I am not sure if those colors are from the telescope as some show colors that are not true and are used for reading various levels, or if they are true. Either way that is such a beautiful sight, the red is amazing.
