                           Astronomy Picture of the Day   
      
       Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our   
         fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation   
                       written by a professional astronomer.

       The featured image shows a grand skyscape with a brown desert road in   
          the foreground and a sky containing the Milky Way galactic band   
         complete with a large red glow on the right which is the dim Gum   
      Nebula. The LMC galaxy is also visible. Please see the explanation for   
                            more detailed information.

      Explanation: Because the Gum Nebula is the closest supernova remnant,   
      it is actually hard to see. Spanning 40 degrees across the sky, the   
      nebula appears so large and faint that it is easily lost in the din of   
      a bright and complex background. The Gum Nebula is highlighted nicely   
      in red emission toward the right of the featured wide-angle,   
      single-image photograph taken in late May. Also visible in the frame   
      are the Atacama Desert in Chile in the foreground, the Carina Nebula in   
      the plane of our Milky Way galaxy running diagonally down from the   
      upper left, and the neighboring Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) galaxy.   
      The Gum Nebula is so close that we are much nearer the front edge than   
      the back edge, each measuring 450 and 1500 light years respectively.   
      The complicated nebula lies in the direction of the constellations of   
      Puppis and Vela. Oddly, much remains unknown about the Gum Nebula,   
      including the timing and even number of supernova explosions that   
      formed it.
