A whole ensemble of phenomena observed at the galactic center can be understood if a supernova exploded in a massive binary system there about 100 yr ago. The resultant object would be quite similar to SS 433, but much younger and more compact and active. The recent finding of an anomalously high He abundance suggests that the radiating plasma represents an expanding supernova remnant derived from a massive helium star. Intensive e(+/-) pair production in the neutron star magnetosphere would be responsible for the observed 511-keV annihilation line.
