High resolution NTT image of supernova SN 1987A taken from La Silla Observatory in December 1993. Seven years after the explosion of SN 1987A, the observations indicate the beginning of a more active phase while the interaction between the stellar material which was ejected during the explosion and the surrounding ring-shaped nebulae has started. SN 1987A is one of the most studied objects in modern astronomy and ESO telescopes have been observing it since its first detection, in February 1987.
