SN G1.9+0.3 (G1.9+0.3, NVSS J174846-270950) is thought to be the most recent supernova to have occurred in the Milky Way about 140 years ago.[5] The supernova itself was not directly observed but its claimed remnant has.[6] It is thought not to have been visible in the optical portion of the electromagnetic spectrum because it occurred close to the centre of the galaxy where high concentrations of gas and dust obscure the view. This is thought to have made it a trillion times fainter that it otherwise would have been.[6] X-ray observations made by the Chandra telescope in 2008, which aren't affected by the gas and dust, have shown the nebula is expanding at 14,000 km/s, by comparing it to radio observations made in 1985.[7]
