SN 1572
Discovery of SN 1572 Source — Wikipedia, "Timeline of Danish history" (1500-1814):
Tycho's Supernova Remnant. In 1572, the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe observed and studied the explosion of a star that became known as Tycho's supernova. More than four centuries later, Chandra's image of the supernova remnant shows an expanding bubble of multimillion degree debris (green and red) inside a more rapidly moving shell of extremely high energy electrons (filamentary blue). As a huge ball of exploding plasma, it was Irving Langmuir who coined the name plasma because of its similarity to blood plasma, and Hannes Alfvén who noted its cellular nature. The filamentary blue outer shell of X-ray emitting high-speed electrons is also a characteristic of plasmas. This is a false-colour x-ray image in which the energy levels (in keV) of the x-rays have been assigned colours as follows: Red 0.95-1.26 keV, Green 1.63-2.26 keV, Blue 4.1-6.1 keV. All x-rays images must use processed colours since x-rays (as are radio waves, infra-red) are invisible to the human eye. But they are not invisible to suitable equipment, such as x-ray telescopes. The red and green bands highlight the expanding cloud of plasma with temperatures in the millions of degrees.

Map of Copenhagen after the fire in 1728. The burned areas are marked with yellow. The map is produced by Joachim Hassing and scanned from Kjøbenhavns Huse og Indvaanere efter Branden 1728, København 1906. The text in the book seems to be written by G.L. Grove (died 1911) and the drawings by Frederik Fremming Hartvig (died 1929), so anything from the book is in Public Domain.
