The 1054 supernova, also known as SN 1054, is used in an equation called the light-travel time distance equation. This equation helps astronomers calculate distances to celestial objects by accounting for the time it takes light to travel from the object to Earth. The supernova is used as a standard reference for calibrating this distance measurement method.

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.
Was the first neutron star observed in a supernova remnant?
Yes, the first neutron star was observed in a supernova remnant. The object, named PSR B1919+21, was discovered in 1967 in the Crab Nebula, the remnant of a supernova that exploded in the year 1054 AD.
What year did a star in the Taurus constellation undergo a supernova?
1054 - The Crab Nebula in the constellation of Taurus. [See Link]
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.
If the supernova was visible in 1054 when did it actually occur?
Nobody can tell when the FIRST Supernova occurred, but the first recorded Supernova was in 185SN 185 was a supernova which appeared in the year 185, near the direction of Alpha Centauri This "guest star" was observed by Chinese astronomers and possibly been recorded in Roman literature. It remained visible in the night sky for eight months. This is believed to have been the first supernova recorded by humankind.However the first stars formed around 400 million years after the big bang. These were supermassive stars - called population III stars - they were much larger than stars today, so their life times would have been a few million years. They would have exploded as supernova and ended as black holes. These black holes could have been the starting blocks for the galaxies.
Using the velocity of light devise a strategy for finding out when the supernova actually occurred relative to when the Chinese astronomers saw the explosion in 1054 Use the equation drt?
The distance to SN 1054 is about 6,300 light years. The date it was seen is 1054 x - y =z
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.

Grab nebula was first seen on earth in 1054 how long did it take to get here?
The Crab Nebula is about 6,500 light-years away from Earth. Since one light-year is the distance light travels in one year, it took 6,500 years for the light from the Crab Nebula's explosion in 1054 to reach Earth.
What year did a star in the Taurus constellation undergo a supernova?
1054 - The Crab Nebula in the constellation of Taurus. [See Link]
What is the event know as in 1054?
There were several events in 1054. One of them was the supernova known as SN 1054, which became the Crab Nebula, NGC 1952. Another was the East-West Schism that divided Christianity between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church.
What was the Crab Nebula caused by?
The Crab Nebula was formed when it's host star exploded as a supernova [See related question]
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.
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.
How long ago did the Crab Nebulae explode?
The Crab Nebula or M1 has a supernova designation of SN1054 (SN=Supernova) and (1054 was the year is was observed).It is located about 6,500 light years from us, so it would have exploded about 6,500 years ago - give or take a few hundred years.
What is a guest star was that seen exploding over China in the year 1054?
A "guest" star is the name for the original star, before it exploded as a Supernova. Because the Supernova is the explosion and has no real physical relation to the Star, it is termed "guest" star.
