The Super Meteor 650 shares a resemblance to its younger counterpart, the Meteor 350, but with a more muscular appearance. It features a wide and low-slung seat, offering a relaxed riding position ideal for long-distance journeys. The cruiser aesthetics are enhanced by its teardrop-shaped fuel tank, scooped seat, and robust fenders. [6]
SN 1054 remnant (Crab Nebula)A supernova is an event in which a star destroys itself in an explosion which can briefly become as luminous as an entire galaxy.This list of supernovae of historical significance includes events that were observed prior to the development of photography, and individual events that have been the subject of a scientific paper that contributed to supernova theory.
Sequence of HST images from 1994 to 2009, showing the collision of the expanding remnant with a ring of material ejected by the progenitor 20,000 years before the supernova [41] The three bright rings around SN 1987A that were visible after a few months in images by the Hubble Space Telescope are material from the stellar wind of the progenitor.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured photos of one of the earliest supernovas ever seen, with features appearing like grains and knots found in a cut of wood. "Once upon a time ...
The supernova SN 2016gkg was detected by amateur astronomer Victor Buso from Rosario, Argentina, on 20 September 2016. [39] [40] It was the first time that the initial "shock breakout" from an optical supernova had been observed. [39] The progenitor star has been identified in Hubble Space Telescope images from before its
SN 2003gd was a Type II-P supernova explosion in the Phantom Galaxy, located in the constellation Pisces.SN 2003gd was discovered on 12 June 2003 by Robert Evans, using a 0.31m reflector, and its discovery was confirmed on 13 June 2003 by R. H. McNaught using the 1.0m telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory.
SN 1993J is a supernova observed in Bode's Galaxy.It was discovered on 28 March 1993 by F. Garcia in Spain. [3] At the time, it was the second-brightest type II supernova observed in the twentieth century behind SN 1987A, [4] peaking at a visible apparent magnitude of 10.7 on March 30, with a second peak of 10.86 on April 18.
