From NASA/ ESA, January 15, 2021: Pictured here is the region of sky around the supernova remnant 1E 0102.2-7219.

Researchers have studied the Hubble archive looking for visible-light images of the supernova remnant and they have analysed the data to calculate a more accurate estimate of the age and centre of the supernova blast.
