How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T18771210 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Tycho's Supernova Remnant
Tycho's Supernova Remnant is the expanding shell of gas and dust left behind by the Type Ia supernova observed by Tycho Brahe in 1572, located in the constellation Cassiopeia.
-
B.
SN 1054
SN 1054 is a historic supernova observed in 1054 CE whose explosion created the Crab Nebula and was recorded by several medieval astronomers.
-
C.
Monoceros Loop supernova remnant
The Monoceros Loop supernova remnant is a large, faint shell of gas and dust in the constellation Monoceros, believed to be the remains of an ancient supernova explosion.
-
D.
Cassiopeia A
Cassiopeia A is a well-studied, relatively young supernova remnant in the constellation Cassiopeia and one of the strongest radio and X-ray sources in the sky.
-
E.
supernova remnant 1E 0102.2-7219
Supernova remnant 1E 0102.2-7219 is a young, oxygen-rich stellar explosion remnant in the Small Magellanic Cloud, notable for its bright X-ray and optical emission and frequent use as a calibration and study target in high-energy astrophysics.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
