The filamentary nebula RCW 86, identical with the non - thermal
radio source MSH 14 - 63, is part of a supernova remnant. A group
of OB stars is found near the radio source. The distance of the
group is 2500 pc; this agrees well with the radio distance of the
remnant. It is suggested that the remnant was formed by the
explosion of a member of the group; the explosion occurred probably
in 185 A. D.
