About 120 centuries ago an inconspicuous star in what is now the constellation of
Vela brightened by about 100 million times to rival the Moon as the
brightest object in the night sky. This photograph shows a portion of
the north-western quadrant of an expanding nebulous shell, which now
surrounds the site of the explosion. Near the centre of the nebula
(and not seen here) is the Vela pulsar (PSR J0835-4510), a rapidly-spinning neutron
star only a few kilometres in diameter, the remnant of the star that
exploded. This tiny, massive object spins about 11 times a second and until recently was among
the faintest stars ever studied at optical wavelengths, a far cry
from its brief glory as one of the brightest stars ever seen.
