	Chandra :: Photo Album :: Puppis A :: More Images of Puppis A
		Chandra's three-color image of a region of Puppis A reveals a cloud being torn apart by a shockwave produced by a supernova explosion.
		Pictured is the supernova remnant Puppis A, one of the brightest sources in the X-ray sky, with shocked gas clouds still expanding and radiating X-rays.
		A faint pinpoint source of X-rays is visible (white dot near center) which is likely a young neutron star, kicked out by the asymmetric explosion and moving away from the site of the original supernova at about 600 miles per second.

	A Central Stellar Remnant in Puppis A (Site not responding. Last check: )
		ROSAT observations of a feature near the center of the Puppis A supernova remnant suggest that it is the stellar remnant of the explosion.
		Spectral analysis of ROSAT PSPC data suggest that its properties are consistent with model predictions for a neutron star with the same age as the Puppis A remnant (${\sim}3700$ y).
		The large inferred space velocity (${\sim}10^3$ km s$^{-1}$) requires an asymmetrical explosion, which is supported by the fact that fast moving rich knots are found only on the opposite side of the explosion center.

	Naos (Zeta Puppis)
		A blue supergiant and the second brightest O star in the sky in terms of apparent magnitude.
		It is embedded in the Gum Nebula and used to be the Zeta star of Argo Navis (Jason’s vessel Argos) – the Greek naos meaning “ship” – before becoming Zeta in Puppis, the Stern, after the big constellation was broken up.
		Typical of its breed, Naos is blowing a fierce stellar wind, averaging 2,300 km/s and over a millionth of a solar mass a year (10 million times the rate lost by the Sun).

	Star Tales – Puppis
		Lacaille wrote that “the poop is separated from the body of the vessel [Carina] by the rudder”, and it is on the rudder that the bright star Canopus is placed.
		Puppis has no stars labelled Alpha or Beta because, when Argo Navis was divided up by Lacaille, the original Greek-letter designations of the stars in Argo were retained; Alpha and Beta ended up in the subdivision of Carina.
		The brightest star in Puppis is in fact second-magnitude Zeta Puppis, called Naos from the Greek word for ‘ship’.

	NGC 2451 in BinoSky, a guide to astronomy with binoculars. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I have successfully observed the cluster even when the horizon was too hazy for Puppis to be visible with the naked eye; the unmistakeable asterism around Pi Puppis (see below) can be found by dead-reckoning from Canis Major, and from there it's only a short hop to Zeta Pup and NGC2451.
		What makes it unusually attractive is the contrast in color between the brilliant red star c Puppis in the foreground and the white members of the cluster, of which at least five are easily seen.
		While visiting the region, a similar colorfest can be enjoyed in the garish red supergiant Pi Puppis and its three white neighbors.
