This supernova is G292.0+1.8. The G292.0+1.8 supernova remnant contains a pulsar moving at over a million miles per hour. Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars that can form when massive stars run out of fuel, collapse, and explode. Sometimes these explosions produce a “kick,” which sent this pulsar racing through the remains of the supernova explosion.perhaps an iceberg on its side.
