The side used the Very Large Telescope in Chile to study the supernova 1987A, which lies 168,000 light-years away.The fallout show the unique explosion was very influential and concentrated in one particular direction.
Seen in 1987, it was the first supernova noticeable with the bare eye to have been experiential for some 383 years.
The 3-D view shows the detonation was stronger and faster in some directions than others, leading to an uneven shape with some parts make bigger further out into space.
This occurrence was predicted by some of the most new computer models of supernovae, which establish that large-scale instabilities take place during the explosion. The explanation of SN 1987A were made using the SINFONI gadget on the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile.
The first fabric to be ejected from the explosion travelled at 100 million km per hour, which is about 100,000 times faster than a passenger jet.
