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.
What are three objects that can be formed from the materials on the core of a supernova?
Neutron star: A dense remnant composed primarily of neutrons formed from the collapsing core of a massive star during a supernova explosion. Black hole: A region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape, formed when the core of a massive star collapses during a supernova. Heavy elements: Elements with atomic numbers higher than iron, such as gold, uranium, and platinum, are created during the intense temperatures and pressures of a supernova explosion.
What is a neutral star?
A neutral star is not a commonly recognized astronomical term. It might refer to a hypothetical type of star that has a balance between radiation pressures and gravitational forces, leading to stable behavior. However, if you meant a neutron star, it is a dense remnant of a supernova explosion composed mostly of neutrons.
Is a black hole a supernova remnant?
No, a black hole is not typically a supernova remnant. A black hole is formed when a massive star collapses under its own gravity, creating a region of spacetime from which nothing, not even light, can escape. On the other hand, a supernova remnant is the leftover material from a massive star's explosion in a supernova event.
What is the remains of a star called after a supernova?
The remains of a star after a supernova can be classified primarily as either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the original star. If the core's mass is below a certain threshold, it may collapse into a neutron star, which is incredibly dense and composed mostly of neutrons. If the core's mass exceeds this limit, it may collapse further into a black hole, where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. Additionally, the explosion disperses the outer layers of the star into space, creating a supernova remnant.

What is the Vela Supernova?
The Vela Supernova is the remnant of a supernova explosion that occurred in the Vela constellation about 11,000 to 12,300 years ago. It is located about 800 light-years away from Earth and is one of the closest known supernova remnants to us.
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant In which constellation is it located?
The Crab Nebula is located in the constellation of Taurus. It is about 6,500 light-years away from Earth and is the result of a supernova explosion that was observed in the year 1054.
Can a pulsar change into a supernova?
No. A pulsar is a remnant left behind by a supernova.
What Remnant can stretch over a distance of several light-years?
A supernova remnant.
What is Cassiopeia's scientific name?
Cassiopeia's scientific name is Cassiopeia A. It is the remnant of a supernova explosion located in the constellation Cassiopeia, and it is a strong source of radio waves.
Why is the Crab Nebula considered a supernova remnant?
Because it IS a supernova remnant. It's the visial remains of a star that expolded and was seen in 1054. Designated SN 1054.
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.
What is a neatron star?
Let me presume that the questioner means "neutron star". When a massive star dies in a supernova explosion, one possible outcome is that the remnant left behind is a neutron star. It's called that because it is essentially completely composed of neutrons; in effect, it is an atomic nucleus several kilometers in diameter. It gets that way because it is so massive (greater than 1.4 times the mass of the Sun) that gravity crushes the protons and electrons together to make neutrons. Packing all of these neutrons together with the already-existing neutrons gives rise to a quantum-mechanical pressure that prevents the star from collapsing any further. So the remnant becomes a giant ball of neutrons. If the remnant is more massive than about 3 times the mass of the Sun, gravity will overcome even the resisting pressure of the neutrons, and will crush the remnant to form a black hole. No known mechanism can resist this high gravitational force, and the equations of general relativity tell us that the remnant will be crushed to a mathematical point. (Additional quantum-mechanical effects will doubtless kick in before that happens, but as we do not yet have a full theory of quantum gravity, we don't really know the true outcome.)
