notable pulsar and neighboring nebulae. Contains

have formed from part of the shock wave of the
Vela SNR
G1.9+0.3
Possibly the most recent supernovae, specifically
Type Ia, in the Milky Way. It has an extremely
asymmetric pattern. Explosion was likely highly non-
uniform and unusually energetic.
W49B
W49B is an SNR that is theorized to have a
distorted shape and a black hole from the explosion
that created the remnant. It may be the most recent
black hole formed in the Milky Way.
Tycho's
SNR(SN
1572) A Type 1a supernova remnant that burst in early
November 1572 and was later studied by Tycho
Brahe.

Mira(Om

Mira is the prototype for Mira variables, which are
red giants that oscillate over long periods. It is a
binary star system, with Mira A the red giant that is
losing mass and Mira B the white dwarf that is
accreting mass.

47 Tucanae is the second brightest globular cluster

globular clusters in the galaxy.

T Tauri
T Tauri is the prototype for T Tauri stars, which are
the stars in the life stage between protostar and
main sequence. there is a nebula located close to
the star called Hind's Variable Nebula, which
changes in luminosity as T Tauri varies.
GRS
1915+10
5 GRS 1915+105 is an x-ray binary star system
containing a regular star and a black hole. It is one
of the heaviest stellar black holes so far known in
the Milky Way and has a self-regulating black hole.
Eta
Carinae
A hypergiant with a smaller companion. Massive
supernova, very bright. It has a chance of exploding
at any time, and will be so bright that it rivals the
moon.
SS

A recurrent nova with a very massive white dwarf
and a red dwarf-type star cooler than our sun. Often
classified as U Geminorum type dwarf nova.

An x-ray binary system composed of two white
dwarves that are rapidly orbiting each other. Their
orbits are slowly getting closer, and the stars will
eventually collide. Since they are faint, they are
being observed by x-ray emissions.

V1647 Ori is a FU Orionis variable star, a low-mass
protostar still partly surrounded by its birth cloud. It
is spinning as fast as it can without ripping itself to
pieces.

containing a sun-like star and a white dwarf. It is
now close to the Chandrasekhar limit and might
soon explode as a type 1a supernova.
Abell 30
Abell 30 is a planetary nebula in a special, rarely-
seen phase of evolution. The evolution of A30
stalled and then started up again, so the planetary
nebula was reborn.

NGC 1846 is a globular cluster located in the outer

faint green planetary nebula, and it doesn't seem to
belong in the cluster.
