N49 The purpose of the Hubble Space Telescope has become a supernova remnant located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way Galaxy parent. N 49, or DEM L 190 is a remnant of a massive star that ended its evolution in a powerful supernova explosion, whose light reached the eye landowners thousand years ago. The visible fibrous structure comprises matter which will serve in the distant future to the formation of new stars, and perhaps new planetary systems. Our own Sun and planets are constructed from similar debris matter of a supernova that exploded billions of years ago in our galaxy. Inside this seemingly delicate structure of hiding the pulsar. After the supernova was established in the interior of N 49 rapidly rotating neutron star, which spins at a rate of 8 times per second. A neutron star also produces a strong magnetic field a thousand trillion times stronger than Earths magnetic field. This star belongs to a unique class of objects called magnetars. Visible in the photo fibrous structure is nothing more than a powerful shock wave running through the surrounding interstellar medium and nearby dense molecular gas clouds. In March 1979 were registered gamma-ray flare, which came from the N 49 was able to determine that it is also a source of soft gamma radiation and that is also the source of X-rays.
