The above image is an artist’s concept showing Supernova 1987A, the most powerful blast wave which creates from the center and moves towards outer ring obliterating dust particles. Dying red giant stars causes the formation of huge dust particles which spread in the space and mixed with interstellar clouds. When the supernova blast wave moves though space with a speed exceeding 6000 miles per second, it eradicates most of the cosmic dust.

 

Supernova explosions form huge brightness which is equivalent to the light created by billions of individual stars together. The research says that the supernova blast wave is powerful enough to obliterate all the materials which come in its path including the dust which previously lie in the space between the stars.
