Summary

Description
English: Four snapshots during a simulation of the explosion phase of the deflagrationto-detonation model of nuclear-powered Type Ia supernovae. The images show extremely hot matter (ash or unburned fuel) and the surface of the star (green). Ignition of the nuclear flame was assumed to occur simultaneously at 63 points randomly distributed inside a 128-km sphere at the center of the white dwarf star. Image: Argonne National Laboratory

A lower resolution version of this photo exists on the English Wikipedia page "Type Ia Supernova". Some of the text in the Wiki page's current version of the image is illegible because the resolution was too low. I have obtained the original resolution image from the image source page on Flickr (the previous image was a lower resolution preview also available on the image's Flickr page).

This original resolution image is much higher quality and should improve the readability of the associated Wikipedia page.
