Topic: Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

A new image from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Spitzer Space Telescope shows the dusty remains of a collapsed star. The dust is flying past and engulfing a nearby family of stars. Scientists think the stars in the image are part of a stellar cluster in which the a supernova exploded. The material ejected in the explosion is now blowing past these stars at high velocities.

All I can say is "Wow!" That image provides a lot of detail.  It would be nice if the blurb said when the star collapsed.
