3D Model of IC 443 for Virtual Reality

Caption

This adaptation of the 3D model of IC 443, a supernova remnant, has been optimized for virtual reality (VR). The outer blast wave of the explosion is bright blue, while the outer layers of the star are in reds and oranges. Chandra's data of the nebula of particles and energy around the neutron star are found at the center of this VR version (cyan).
