Astrometric measurements of the position of SN 1957d in the spiral galaxy NGC 5236 using archival plates indicate that it is within 2 arcsec of the position of a point radio source of approximately Cas A strength on a VLA map made by Cowan and Branch (1982). This coincidence strongly suggests that the radio source originated from the supernova. If further investigation shows this point source to indeed be a supernova remnant, then this would be the first reported detection of an intermediate-age supernova remnant.
