Mysterious high-speed gas cloud might be the result of a supernova

A mysterious, ultrafast cloud may be the result of the explosive stellar death that birthed a neutron star 100,000 years ago and around 532 light-years away, new research reveals.

High-velocity clouds (HVCs) are concentrations of hydrogen gas that often dwell in large complexes. They are remarkable because of their incredible velocities, which don’t fit within the regular rotation speed of the Milky Way. The new research may provide insight into the origins of HVCs, which have puzzled scientists for decades.
