SN 386 is a probable transient astronomical event in the constellation Sagittarius, which appeared as a "guest star" that was reported by Chinese astronomers in 386 CE.[2]
The position of the star AD 386 corresponds very well with that of the SNR G11.2–0.3, and this leads us to make the tentative suggestion that this source is the remnant of the star.
