Kes 75 supernova remnant,X-ray image. In the centre of the remnant is the remains of the star's core,which has formed a pulsar (white dot),or neutron star rotating many times a second and emitting regular pulses of radiation. When a large star dies,gas shells explode outwards and collide with interstellar material. The energy of the collision ionises the gas,causing it to glow.
