SN 1006
Type Ia Supernova

that explodes off gases
and leaves no remnant star.
Probably the merging of two white dwarfs.

Mag: very dim?   Size: 29'

    SN1006 was the brightest supernova in all recorded history, about four times as bright as SN1054. But it was a Type Ia, which expels relatively less material into space.
    The remnant nebula from SN1006 has been found and is called G327.6+14.6, but it seems to be quite dim. No value is given anywhere in the literature for apparent magnitude. (The peak apparent magnitudes were about -7.5 versus -6.   M = -7.6 is about the brightness of the moon three days past new.)
    All available images of G327.6+14.6 seem to be composite using x-ray or multiple x-ray, visible and radio bands.
    The strange ribbon image is a high resolution subsection showing shock wave interactions at the outer edge of the ball image. large image
