The Popped Balloon nebula (LBN 576, Abell 85 or CTB 1) is a faint supernova remnant lying almost 10,000 light years away. Coincidentally, it is also around 10,000 years old. This nebula is so faint that it barely shows up on a single 10 minute narrowband exposure. Until recently it was thought to be a planetary nebula but recent studies confirm it to be a supernova remnant, the closest one known to Earth. Supernova remnants result from the explosion of a star in a supernova and are bounded by an expanding shock wave. They consist of ejected material expanding from that explosion.
