they all peak at almost exactly the same brightness. It's so consistent that Type Ia supernovae are also calledstandard candles: Once astronomers find one in a region of space, they can use it as a baseline with which to compare other objects around it. ...
And all of the elements in the universe that are heavier than iron, from cobalt to roentgenium, are thought to be created during core collapse supernovae explosions. After millions of years, these remnants comingle with space gas to form new interstellar life: Baby stars that mature, age and...
Supernovae represent the most violent stellar explosions in the universe. This book presents supernovo facts and explains what they are, and how to observe and discover them. It contains detailed galaxy images and is aimed at amateur astronomers who are readers of astronomy periodicals.Mobberley,...
How supernovae shape up
Supernovae occur at very large distances from Earth, so they do not pose any direct danger to our planet. However, the energy released from a supernova explosion can have a significant impact on the surrounding environment and can potentially affect Earth's climate and ecosystems.Similar...
Such "new stars" have not ceased to surprise. Some 400 years later astronomers realized that they briefly outshine billions of ordinary stars and must therefore be spectacular explosions. In 1934 Fritz Zwick'y of the California Institute of Technology coined the name "supernovae" for them. ...
In studies on intermediate- and high-resolution spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), some objects exhibit narrow Na-I D absorptions often blueshifted with respect to the rest wavelength within the host galaxy. The absence of these in other SNe Ia may reflect that the explosions have dif...
To hide behind that the thought That I will always find a way to fly away Before you say that I'm not good enough to stay for How could I say more? I can see it all, but not for me I put on a smile and dive inside insanity ...
There is information that there are various types of supernovae in the Milky Way that occur on the average of 2.2 to 2.7 per century. My first set of question: Is this average of supernovae per century constant going back 10 billion years or so? If the average of ...
The song introduces us to a new version of aespa, probably from a different universe. They’re ready to take on the world in any timeline and look amazing while doing it. The ‘Supernova’ video is the first time this era that we see aespa take on different powers from what they had...
