This is LMC N49!

Considered to be the brightest supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud satellite galaxy, the center of this beautiful object holds a dead star. This neutron star has a strong magnetic field and gamma ray bursts that distinguish it as a “soft gamma repeater” star!

This is LMC N49! ✨✨✨

This is the brightest supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud, located about 160,000 light years away. Scientists are tracking a strange bullet-shaped object travelling through the remnant, possibly a strongly magnetic neutron star!
