In the heart of a hero, Krypton lives on.
Like Kal-El, you are Star Kin, forged from dust as old as the universe. There is a light behind your eyes that will never go out. The light will change over millennia, take many forms in many places. But in this moment it is yours. So seize Time, drink life like a potion. Cherish the light that is in you, and burn bright.
Acquisition Details:
IC 443 is a supernova remnant located in the constellation Gemini, approximately 5,000 light-years from Earth. The nebulous explosion was formed by the death-curse of a massive star, which perished thousands of years ago. The supernova is still expanding outward at a face-melting speed of nearly 100 kilometers per second.
I captured this image over many nights near the Gulf of Mexico, using my apochromatic refracting telescope.
