[Description from: THE NATURE OF BILATERAL SUPERNOVA REMNANTS in The Astrophysical Journal (493:781E792, 1988 February 1)] “The SN explosion is believed to have occurred at or near the center of curvature of the shell component, which represents the expansion of that part of the SN shock into a uniform medium. The faint linear features in the remnant’s center mark the re-energizing of the slabs surface as a result of the shock breaking out into it, and the wing component represents the shock once again encountering dense material on the other side.” - 16 x 30m subs in Ha (5nm) total exposure time: 8 hours.
