  1. most probably that area has great gravitation..which is why stars form a cluster..it might turn into a black hole eventually..also it's supposed to have a high entropy..i think..


  2. That a black hole was there...or something about a black hole

  3. A gravitic mass is sure to be at the center of the resultant nebula caused by the supernova.

    The gravitic mass may be a black hole, a neutron star, or a pulsar.

    It would certainly be a candidate for microwave and radio telescope telemetry.

    What kind of gravitic anomyly may tell you how old that nebula is and how long ago the supernova went off.

  4. There was a supernova there? (I seriously don't know).

  5. If you find a supernova remnant that would suggest there was a large star in that region, the region probably had quite a lot of hydrogen to form a star large enough to produce a super nova.

    Similarly a star cluster indicates that there is a wide enough dispersion of hydrogen to produce stars individually, although they may have a gravitational attraction to each other, to remain in a cluster.
