What you have here is an animation construxcted from four still frames taken over a 7 year period. The pictures are of X-Rays, shifted down into the visible color band by a computer. It depicts the super-hot gasses of the explosion expanding into the space around the former star. The supernova appeared on Earth in 1667, and was possibly observed only by John Flamsteed, who thought it was a normal star. It is about 10,000 ly away.

I believe this is imagaes extrapolated from measured radiations (Gamma rays, etc) and the data entered into a 3dim space plot is what makes this vid.

are they trying to say this is actual telescopic video or a recreation? becasue the graphics look like the video "new animation lets you fly through a super nova".....probably animation base on data.... who knows?

I guess so, but you've got to remember that a Super Nova is a much faster paced EXPLOSION! :D
