Star Explosion in Nearby Galaxy Is Revolutionizing Astronomy; New Field of Science Spawned as Supernova Particles Hit EarthKathy Sawyer
Supernova SN 2023ixf in the Pinwheel Galaxy, also known as Messier 101 (M101). The supernova is the brightest point of light in the spiraling arm on the left of the galaxy as you look at it.(Image credit: R. Mark Lilienthal) Our astrophoto of the month is this stunning image of t...

(Ė= 1.1 × 1036erg s-1,P= 65 ms) discovered near the southeast rim of the supernova remnant (SNR) RX J0852.0−4622 (aka Vela Jr) by the Parkes multibeam survey. The position of the pulsar is in spatial coincidence with an enhancement in X-rays and TeVγ-rays, which ...
The researchers have identified features like small specks of green, which indicate the presence of iron from supernova remnants, and areas of red which represent ionized hydrogen gas, illuminated by nearby stars. The team was particularly interested in the streams of particular blowing away from ar...

The star was located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby dwarf galaxy. In 1987, the first light from that catastrophic event reached Earth and for several months, the supernova, dubbed SN 1987A, blazed as brightly as 100 million suns before fading again. Now, nearly two decades later,...

between ions and aerosols much more likely. Even at low ionization levels about 5% of the growth rate of aerosols is due to ions. In the case of a nearby super nova the effect can be more than 50% of the growth rate, which will have an impact on the clouds and...
