APOD - Unusual Nebula Pa 30

Mignon, je cite:

In this model, the supernova was not the result of the detonation of a single star, but rather a blast that occurred when two white dwarf stars spiraled together and merged. The blue dot in the center is hypothesized to be a zombie star, the remnant white dwarf that somehow survived this supernova-level explosion.

Unusual Nebula Pa 30

The nebula, dubbed Pa 30, appears in the same sky direction now as a bright guest star did in the year 1181.
