Astronomers have taken the first close-up image of a star beyond our galaxy, and it’s a “monster star” surrounded by a cocoon as it slowly dies.
Supernova 1987A is the bright light source at the centre of the image, near the Tarantula Nebula. SN 1987A was a type II supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. It occurred approximately 51.4 kiloparsecs (168,000 light-years) [a] from Earth and was the closest observed supernova since Kepler's ...
Map showing various supernova candidates, most of which are within one kiloparsec from the Solar System. [1] This is a list of supernova candidates, or stars that are believed to soon become supernovae. Type II supernova progenitors include stars with at least 8~10 solar masses that are in the final stages
Texas Supernova Search (TSS) is one of many ongoing projects to identify and record supernova events. The project is led by Robert Quimby and to date has found 35 supernovae, 29 of which they were the first to report on. In addition they have discovered twelve (extragalactic) novae (in M31 and M33, including a probable LBV) and six dwarf novae.
A small earthquake provided some shaking near Lawrenceville, Ill., around 8:11 p.m. Monday night.
Texas has been hit by a lot of hurricanes. Here are the top 5 U.S. states that have hurricanes most often, based on NOAA data on landfalls.
The SuperNova Early Warning System (SNEWS) is a network of neutrino detectors designed to give early warning to astronomers in the event of a supernova in the Milky Way, our home galaxy, or in a nearby galaxy such as the Large Magellanic Cloud or the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy. As of March 2021, [1] SNEWS has
