  1. #E0102, short for 1E 0102.2-7219, is the remnant of a #Supernova that exploded in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a neighbouring galaxy of the Milky Way.

    The supernova was caused when a star much more massive than the Sun collapsed under its own gravity. The explosion would have been visible from the Southern Hemisphere of the Earth over 1000 years ago.
