“Radio telescopes produce enormous amounts of data, and we need immense computing power to produce even a single image like this one.

(Um, not that enormous, it’s only radio, and even a transistor radio can handle that one. The shorter the wavelength, the more data is produced, and radio wavelengths are very long).

“Within 24 hours of accessing the first stage of Australia’s newest supercomputing system, researchers have processed a series of radio telescope observations, including a highly detailed image of a supernova remnant. A newly launched supercomputer called Setonix – named after Western Australia’s favourite animal, the quokka (Setonix brachyurus).

(at my CSIRO our supercomputer in Melbourne was called Cherax – named after the yabby – Cherax destructor. It seems to be a CSIRO trait to name supercomputers after Australian animals).

While the supercomputer is ramping up to full operations, so is ASKAP (Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder), which is currently wrapping up a series of pilot surveys and will soon undertake even larger and deeper surveys of the sky.

(Now we just need Webb to focus on the same object)

It’s another chorizo right?

My slight worry is that it’s lit up at upper right, like some photographer’s deliberately set his studio light there to show off its three-dimensionality.
By the way, it looks very young. Supernovas very rapidly, after only a couple of years, start expanding into a random blob.
