The Pencil Nebula in Red and Blue.
Image Credit & Copyright: José Joaquín Perez. This shock wave ploughs through interstellar space at over 500,000 kilometres per hour. Near the top in this colour composite, thin, bright, braided filaments are actually long ripples in a cosmic sheet of glowing gas. Catalogued as NGC 2736, the Pencil Nebula is about 5 light-years long and 800 light-years away but represents only a small part of the Vela supernova remnant which is around 100 light-years in diameter; the expanding debris cloud of a star that was seen to explode about 11,000 years ago. Initially, the shock wave was moving at millions of kilometers per hour but has slowed considerably, sweeping up surrounding interstellar material. In the featured narrow-band, wide field image, red and blue colours track the characteristic glow of ionized hydrogen and oxygen atoms, respectively.

Known as “the prehistoric Sistine Chapel,” the Lascaux Caves, a cave complex in southwestern France, contain some of the most remarkable palaeolithic cave paintings in the world, from at least 15,000 years ago. The cave was discovered on 12 September 1940 by four teenagers, Marcel Ravidat, Jacques Marsal, Georges Agnel, and Simon Coencas, as well as Ravidat’s dog, Robot. Public access was made easier after World War II. By 1955, the carbon dioxide produced by 1,200 visitors per day had visibly damaged the paintings. The cave was closed to the public in 1963 in order to preserve the art.
