This page describes an image Death of a massive star
Image caption:
A multi-wavelength image taken with telescopes on the Earth and in space of a neutron star within our neighbouring Small Magellanic Cloud galaxy. A neutron star (seen here as the blue spot surrounded by a red ring) is the final product of gravitational collapse, compression and explosion of a massive star, left embedded in its supernova remnant (in green).

Image caption: Un'immagine a lunghezza d'onda multipla, scattata con telescopi da Terra e spaziali, di una stella di neutroni che si trova nella Piccola Nube di Magellano, una galassia molto vicina alla nostra. Una stella di neutroni (qui rappresentata come un punto blu circondato da un anello rosso) è il prodotto finale del collasso gravitazionale, dell'esplosione di una stella massiccia, incorporata nel proprio resto di supernova (in verde).

Image caption: 用地球上和太空中的望远镜拍摄到的邻近小麦哲伦云星系中一颗中子星的多波段图像。中子星（在这里被看作是被红色环包围的蓝色斑点）是大质量恒星引力坍缩、压缩和爆炸的最终产物，被嵌入其超新星残余物（绿色）中。
