Image of supernova remnant. a False-color image of SNR E0102.2-72. This object is believed to result from a core-collapse supernova about 1000 years ago. One can see the edge of the forward shock. The modulated boundary within it might be structuring of the ejecta-CSM interface produced by RT. The brighter, inner colors are attributed to emission from the higher-Z, interior portions of the ejecta. We credit John Hughes of Rutgers University with having called the potential connection to RT to our attention. Image credit: X-ray (NASA/CXC/MIT/D. Dewey et al. and NASA/CXC/SAO/J.
