CTB1 Supernova Remnant

What is a Supernova Remnant (SNr)? Most (99%) of the energy of a SNe (Supernova Explosion) is released in the form of energetic neutrinos; the remaining energy is converted into kinetic energy, accelerating the stellar material to speeds greater than the speed of sound and causing a shock wave to move outwards from the central star.

The high velocity stellar material plows outwards into the ISM (Interstellar Medium), compressing and heating ambient gas and sweeping it up much as a snow plow compacts and sweeps up snow. —NASA
