APOD 1.2

The picture of the Vela Supernova Remnant is an amazing picture and the details are amazing. The colors are very beautiful and might be a result of the red/blue color shift or just an artist's rendition, but either way it is awesome to look at. Also, the pure distance to this nebula is mind boggling, even at over 800 light years away it is still one of the closest nebulae in the universe and the size of it is extremely large as well, which makes everything about this nebula simply awesome.
