This image of supernova remnant SN 1006 combines data from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and Chandraxray. The red, green and blue elements reflect low, medium and high energy X-rays. The IXPE data, which measure the polarisation of X-ray light, are shown in purple in the upper left corner with the addition of lines representing the outward movement of the magnetic field of the relic.
