In the paper we report the discovery of X-ray emission differences in SNR MSH14-63 based on the ROSAT PSPC observation. The structures of MSH14-63 are different in different energy bands. These images along with the radial brightness distributions in these energy bands show the existence of a region which only emit X-ray photons harder than l.OkeV. Though weak, there actually exist large scale X-ray emissions beyond the bright rim in many parts of the northeast remnant component, which is in conflict with the Sedov phase assumption used in previous research. These new soft X-ray features provide astronomers more information to study its physical characteristics.
