A Cosmic 9/11 Memorial

The above image was created using real images captured by Hubble. On the left is NGC 3310, a galaxy with extremely active star formation. In the center is the SN 1006 remnant, a thin section from the leftovers of a supernova from a 1006 A.D. supernova event. On the right is IRAS 18059-3211, a sun-like star near the end of its life.
