RX J0822-4300 in Puppis A Animations (2005)

Synopsis

Animation of Supernova Explosion. MPEG When a massive star explodes, its outer layers are hurtled out into space at thousands of miles an hour and a neutron star is left behind. In the case of Puppis A, astronomers think the explosion that created this supernova remnant kicked the neutron star into motion, eventually ejecting this cosmic cannonball from the Milky Way galaxy.
