A supernova or supernova remnant
Our answer book holds 42 answers to “A supernova or supernova remnant”, from the first thing anyone would say to names almost nobody would think of. Most people go straight for Crab Nebula, SN 1987A or Tycho's Supernova, so those barely lift the rocket. It is a fairly short list: only 19 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
