Cosmic Fireworks: Unveiling the Secrets of 1A Supernovae

In the vast cosmic theater, where stars are the actors and galaxies form the backdrop, a spectacular phenomenon unfolds—the 1A supernova. These celestial explosions, akin to cosmic fireworks, have fascinated astronomers for centuries. But what lies beneath their brilliant displays? In this exclusive report, we delve...

ESO captures the ghost of a giant star

As part of Halloween celebrations, NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and some space observatories have released eerie, ghostly images of celestial objects. The European Southern Observatory is the most recent to share an unsettling image (ESO). The Very Large Telescope (VLT), which is...

Red-supergiant supernova images reveal secrets of an earlier universe

The size of a star two billion years after the Big Bang, has been measured by a team of researchers led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Detailed images show the supernova cooling. It can help scientists learn more about the stars and...

Supernovae and progenitors may have contributed more dust to the solar nebula than thought

A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, in collaboration with a colleague from the Université Paris-Saclay, have discovered evidence that supernovae and their progenitors may have contributed more dust to the solar nebula than previously thought. The group describes their...

Rewinding a supernova with machine learning

A new study looks at how machine learning can be used to decipher the early stages of supernova explosions by reconstructing the light emitted during the outburst. Eleonora Parrag, a Ph.D. student at the University of Cardiff, presented the research today at the 2022...

Simulating supernova remnants star formation in earthbound lab

Molecular clouds are collections of gas and dust in space. The clouds remain in their state of peaceful equilibrium, when left alone. Shockwaves can propagate through the gas and dust to create pockets of dense material, when triggered by some external agent. The dense...
