Vision of a Stellar Ending Wall Art Size:COSMIC (40 x 40) Green and red represent lightMore than 11,000 years ago, a massive, supergiant star came to the end of its life. The star's core collapsed to form an incredibly dense ball of neutrons, and its exterior was blasted away in an immense release of energy astronomers call a supernova. The light from this supernova first reached Earth from the direction of the constellation Cassiopeia around 1667 A. D. If anyone alive at the time saw it, they left no records. It is likely that large
