Thanks for that. I gave it a quick once over. I will read it more critically later.

Fred Hoyle should have got the Nobel Prize in my opinion for his elucidation of nuclear sythesis in stars just before I was born! It was his later 'wacky' ideas that made the main stream scientists ignore him.

I am still in awe of the contents of this image where the Vela SN remnant is in front of an very much older remnant called the Gum Nebula.
