... RXJ0822-4300, deduced from 3 Chandra images over 5 years, implies a transverse space velocity of 1,600 km/s for an estimated distance of 7,000 light years. The unusually large space velocity is consistent with the explosion center inferred from proper motions of the oxygen-rich optical filaments, an ...
