Supernova Remnants
Supernovae are responsible for creating many of the elements you come into contact with in your everyday life.
The mysterious body is the supernova remnant RCW103. It originated in the colossal explosion of a star as a supernova about 2000 years ago.
SUPERNOVA REMNANTS
We have plenty of evidence that supernovae have occurred in our Galaxy. Occasionally, the explosions themselves are visible from Earth (see Interlude 21-2).

The material ejected from a supernova comprises hydrogen, helium and other elements synthesised in the star. Massive stars eject much of their material prior to the final explosion.

SUPERNOVA REMNANT (SNR) - Diffuse, expanding nebula that results from a supernova explosion. A SNR consists of material ejected in the supernova explosion and interstellar material swept up by the passage of the shock wave from the exploded star.

IC443 Supernova Remnant in Gemini
IC443 is located just E off 3.3 mag. star h Geminorum (see finder chart below). This nebula originated about 3,000 years ago in a fiery supernova explosion.
Supernova remnants
A supernova occurs when a high-mass star reaches the end of its life. When nuclear fusion ceases in the core of the star, the star collapses inward on itself.
Supernova remnants like the Crab Nebula and HII regions like the Orion Nebula are also considered a part of the ISM, and make up most of the more spectacular visible examples of it.

Supernova remnants are the clouds of debris remaining from stars that have exploded. Relativistic electrons produced in a supernova explosion are captured by the magnetic field surrounding the location of the explosion.

The supernova remnant was first observed in 1572 by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, and was the result of an explosion of a white dwarf star located about 13,000 light years from Earth, within the Milky Way.
"This supernova remnant got really big, really fast," said Brian J. Williams, an astronomer at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. Williams is lead author of a new study detailing the findings online in the Astrophysical Journal.
The Crab supernova remnant is about 4,000 light-years away.
The Milky Way Galaxy is about 150,000 light-years across.
The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.3 million light-years away.
The Vela Supernova Remnant is a remnant of a star that exploded between 11,000 and 12,300 years ago approximately 800 light-years from Earth.
A famous supernova remnant is the Crab Nebula above. Chinese astronomers recorded the explosion on July 4, 1054 and the Anasazi Indians painted at least one picture of it.
As for the "supernova remnant" left over from the collapse, its fate depends on its mass. If the star was not too massive, the remnant (as explained) is a neutron star.

(The only exception is three planets discovered orbiting a burned-out star, or supernova remnant, called a pulsar. These are comparable in size to the terrestrial planets).
This supernova remnant is about 10 light-years in diameter. It formed when a supergiant star exploded about 400 years ago (as seen from Earth).
X-rays and gamma rays bring us information about high energy phenomena such as black holes, supernova remnants, hot gas, and neutron stars.

Cygnus A is the second brightest source in the 'radio sky', after the supernova remnant known as Cas A. This pecularly-shaped galaxy is considered to be a billion light years distant, and is an object of intense investigation.
The Cygnus loop is a nebula, a supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. It covers a region in the sky six times the diameter of the full Moon. The supernova exploded about 15,000-20,000 years ago and is still expanding.

In between these horn stars you can locate the famous Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant of a once mighty star that blew itself to smithereens on July 4, 1054.
The objects listed as Bright Nebula, Cluster + Nebula, Galaxy, Planetary Nebula, and Supernova Remnant in Table 1 may be a little more difficult to see depending on your telescope size and amount of light pollution.
Since the discovery of the nature of the corona, such low-density, super-hot plasmas have been identified throughout the universe: in the atmospheres of other stars, in supernova remnants, and in the outer reaches of galaxies.
This may come from OB stars, from hot evolved stars (as in planetary nebulae), or from interstellar shocks (as in supernova remnants).
This is known as a supernova remnant, which will now keep 'cooling' until it becomes a white dwarf. If it keeps on collapsing, it becomes a neutron star, and if it doesn't stop there it goes on to be a black hole.
