This is an X-ray image of a supernova remnant named N132D, which is colored in different shades of bright orange and yellow, on a solid black background. The supernova remnant N132D has a filled in horseshoe shape. In the Chandra X-ray Observatory image of N132D, regions of brightest X-ray emission are shown in yellow. The N132D supernova remnant appears to be colliding with a giant molecular cloud, which produces a brightening on the southern rim of the remnant. Relatively weak X-ray radiation on the upper left shows that the shock wave is expanding into a less dense region on the edge of the molecular cloud. A number of small circular structures are visible in the central regions and a hint of a large circular loop can be seen in the upper part of the remnant. The expanding shock wave has swept up material equal to that of 600 suns.
