The last one looks awesome, with the red, violet and blue colors, and the lines. :)
The first one is also very beautiful. :)

The last one sort of looks like lightning, suggesting there was a LOT of energy.

The purple, red are together forming the letter "L", while the faint purple is like 1/4 a circle.

I wonder why that is. ??? Scientists need to study supernovas way more. :-\
