I’ve been busy working on product creation again this week (the new book for Self Confidence Workshops http://www.selfconfidenceworkshops.co.uk) so thought I’d share with you another fascinating news item about the universe.

As mentioned on MSN news, the remnants of a supernova have been spotted – and it happened 400 years ago!! (http://news.uk.msn.com/blog/clicksnapwhirr-blogpost.aspx?post=7ddb8469-657f-4b76-9868-1a297e99ed1d) The picture below (via NASA and Reuters) shows the resulting bubble-shaped gas shroud  looks amazing – and somewhat akin to a jelly fish! The universe never ceases to amaze me – this gas shroud is 23 light years across and travelling at more than 11 million miles per hour – figures of this magnitude always make my head hurt!
