A fiery orange supernova remnant has the shame of a ring breaking apart. The outer rim is highlighted in purple at bottom right. There are stars dotting the darkness of space.

NASA’s IXPE observed the outer rim of the supernova remnant highlighted in purple in the inset. Data from IXPE is combined with data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton.
