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 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 year did a star in the Taurus constellation undergo a supernova?
1054 - The Crab Nebula in the constellation of Taurus. [See Link]
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)
What is the difference between the Helix Nebula and the Ring Nebula?
The Helix Nebula is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Aquarius, while the Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Lyra. The Helix Nebula appears more like a disk or helix shape, while the Ring Nebula appears as a ring or donut shape due to its orientation.
What is The Pencil Nebula?
The Pencil Nebula (or NGC2736) is part of the Vela Supernova Remnant, located near the Vela Pulsar in the constellation Vela.It is called "pencil" because of it's linear appearance.See related link for a picture.
What is the names of the two most well-known nebulea?
The two most well-known nebulae are the Orion Nebula and the Crab Nebula. The Orion Nebula is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye, located in the Orion constellation. The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova explosion observed by Chinese astronomers in 1054 AD, located in the Taurus constellation.
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 is a Stella nebula?
It does not exist.There are:Solar NebulaPlanetary NebulaH NebulaSupernova Nebula (Supernova Remnant)Or just plain nebula.
What is the difference between the crab nebula and the Orion nebula?
Crab Nebula:Pulsar wind nebulaSupernova remnantRadius of 5.5 ly6,500 light years awayOrion Nebula:Diffuse nebulaStellar nurseryRadius of 12 ly1,244 light years awayEdit: M1, the Crab Nebula, is related to the death of a star. The Orion Nebula, M42, is relateted to the birth of stars.
What is the name for a supernova cloud?

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.
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.
What are two well-known nebulae?
Two well-known nebulae are the Orion Nebula (Messier 42) and the Crab Nebula (Messier 1). The Orion Nebula is a diffuse cloud in the constellation Orion, visible to the naked eye, while the Crab Nebula is a remnant of a supernova explosion observed in the year 1054.
How do you describe a nebula such as the Crab Nebula?
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula.
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 year did a star in the Taurus constellation undergo a supernova?
1054 - The Crab Nebula in the constellation of Taurus. [See Link]
Where is the Crab Nebula?
It's difficult to be precise because of the great distance from us (~6,500 light years). It either lies on the rim of the Orion arm or the rim of the Perseus rim. [See related link]
