Happy Birthday Swift !!

Ten years ago the Swift satellite was launched into space.  In honor of that anniversary I made this montage of one hundred of the supernovae Swift has observed.  Here's to ten more years !!



The picture is a mosaic of 100 supernovae and their galaxies observed by Swift.  The rendering of Swift is by NASA E/PO, Sonoma State University, Aurore Simonnet
