We present two views of the region around SN 1987A: a three-dimensional map of structure revealed by light echoes, and a multicomponent velocity map at 10 km s−1 resolution in [N II], correlating the various superbubble structures found in both, with implications for their age and dynamics, as well as the history of the SN progenitor.
