Monoceros Loop comparison table

Subject is a kind of is an instance of has definition has distance has age

supernova remnant radio source A gaseous nebula, the expanding shell ejected by a supernova, and deriving its energy (at least in some cases) from the conversion by the remanent neutron star of its rotational energy into a stream of high-energy particles being continually accelerated in the SNR. About 100 SNRs are known in our Galaxy. Supernova remnants are usually powerful radio sources.

Monoceros Loop supernova remnant A filamentary supernova remnant resembling a loop. 1 kpc 300000 years
