TL;DR Summary

NASA has released a stunning image of the supernova remnant 30 Doradus B, or 30 Dor B, in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which was found to be the result of at least two star explosions, not just one as previously thought. The image is a composite of data from multiple telescopes, including the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Blanco 4-meter telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Hubble Space Telescope. This detailed view reveals an X-ray shell and a pulsar wind nebula, indicating separate supernova events that shaped the region. The findings provide insights into the life cycles of massive stars and the complex nature of supernova remnants.
