A nebula (a bright region of expanding gas) is often the visible remnant of a supernova explosion. The gas is not nearly as dense as it appears but has enough matter to block light coming from behind it, or from within it. Nebulae often react with clouds of interstellar gas to create new proto-stars.

Huge explosion that forms a nebula?
A supernova
Was the first neutron star observed in a supernova remnant?
Yes. The Crab Nebula neutron star. A neutron star found in the middle of the Crab Nebula - a Nebula formed from the 1054 supernova event.
What is the name for a supernova cloud?
Nebula. Some nebulae are formed as the result of supernova explosions. The material thrown off from the supernova explosion is ionized by the supernova remnant. One of the best examples of this is the Crab Nebula, in Taurus. It is the result of a recorded supernova, SN 1054, in the year 1054 and at the centre of the nebula is a neutron star, created during the explosion.
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant In which constellation is it located?
In the constellation of Taurus
What are examples of nebulae?
Planetary nebulae (the cat's eye nebula) Emission nebulae (the orion nebula) Dark nebulae (the horsehead nebula) Supernova remnant nebulae (the crab)
Is crab nebula same as supernova?
It's not the same as a supernova--the Crab Nebula is the visible remnant of a supernova event which occurred about 7,500 years ago. The light from the supernova explosion reached the earth and was observed by Chinese and Arab astronomers about 1,000 years ago. The Crab Nebula was the first object to be identified with a supernova which was actually observed during recorded history.
Is after a supernova an adverb or adjective?
Prepositional phrases that begin with after are adverb phrases: e.g. "The nebula formed after a supernova" meaning the nebula formed afterward.
What was the Crab Nebula caused by?
The Crab Nebula was formed when it's host star exploded as a supernova [See related question]

Was the Orion nebula a nova or a supernova?
The Orion nebula was likely caused by a supernova. It is a huge cloud of gas within which hundreds of new stars are being formed.
Who first recorded this event the crab nebula?
The discovery of the crab nebula, a supernova remnant, seems to correspond to a bright supernova recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054. The nebula was later described by John Bevis in 1731.
What most likely formed the crab nebula?
The crab nebula is the debris formed in the supernova explosion.
How do you describe a nebula such as the Crab Nebula?
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula.
