New high resolution radio continuum images of the nearby irregular galaxy IC 10 have revealed a large (> 250 pc) nonthermal source. The source is roughly circular with a spectral index of ∼ –0.5, and is most likely a very large supernova remnant. Its large size suggests that it is the result of several supernovae, and may be related to the supershells observed in our own and other galaxies.
