Cepheus A
Cepheus A is a prominent astronomical object located in the constellation Cepheus. It is a supernova remnant, which means it is the remains of a massive star that exploded at the end of its life cycle. This remnant is approximately 2,500 light-years away from Earth and is known for its complex structure and bright emissions.
The remnant is particularly interesting because it contains a pulsar, a highly magnetized rotating neutron star that emits beams of radiation. Cepheus A is also a source of strong radio waves, making it a valuable object of study for astronomers seeking to understand stellar evolution and the life cycles of stars.
