Also known as SN 1604, the Kepler Supernova Remnant is a bubble shaped shroud of dust and gas. Approximately 14 light years wide. This remnant features a distinctive fast moving shell made of iron rich material from it's exploded star. The resulting shock wave is expanding at a speed of 4 million miles per hour. That would be approximately 2,200 miles per second.
