	Q&A: Supernova Remnants and Neutron Stars
                        
                        
                    
            Q:
Can you tell me which direction, or toward what other
               constellation or deep sky object, the apparent cross bow in the
               Vela pulsar points?
               A:
The pulsar is moving northwest, (about 30 degrees north of west)
               at a speed of about 65 km/sec.
