| Telescope: Astro-Physics 160 Starfire | Description:Sh2-224 is a faint supernova remnant in the constellation Auriga, and is one of 313 H II emission regions cataloged by the astronomer Stewart Sharpless in 1959. Sh2-224 exhibits not only hydrogen emissions but also has a bit of ionized oxygen (the blue-green arcs). It is unusual for a supernova remnant...in addition to a more or less spherical shell, it has an additional wing or hat-like structure on one side. Astronomers thought that this may have been the result of the expanding spherical shock wave hitting a boundary in the surrounding gas, and expanding into a region of much lower density. |
