Description

SH2-224 is a supernova remnant found in the constellation of Auriga, prominent in the Winter sky and located nearly 15,000 light years away. The strange shape is attributed to the initial blast of the supernova creating the bubble shape on the lower left, then subsequently, as the shockwave moved through interstellar medium, it created an additional wing to the upper right. This is a very dim object and is comprised of 34.75 hours of total acquisition time using Ha, OIII and SII narrowband filters presented in the Hubble color palette plus the natural star color using R, G and B filters.
