In May 2023, researchers called on amateur astronomers around the world for early data they had collected on the explosion of a nearby red supergiant star. Images a to d show the supernova explosion of SN 2023ixf turn from red to ...
Nearby star-forming regions are clearly seen. c, Hα image of the direct vicinity of SN 2023ixf, as marked in the Liverpool Telescope g-band image, constructed from observations with the integral field unit KCWI. The SN explosion site is embedded in a region of continuing star formation...
A supernova is the explosion of a massive star. There are many different types of supernovae, but they can be broadly separated into two main types: thermonuclear runaway or core-collapse. This first type happens in binary star systems where at least one star is a white dwarf, and they...
During the lifetime of our Milky Way galaxy, there have been something like 100 million supernova explosions, which have enriched the Galaxy with the oxygen we breathe, the iron in our cars, the calcium in our bones and the silicon in the rocks beneath our feet. These exploding stars also...
The so-called classic explosion, associated with Type II supernovae, has as progenitor a very massive star (a Population I star) of at least eight solar masses that is at the end of its active lifetime. (These are seen only in spiral galaxies, most often near the arms.) Until this ...

"The progenitor star had undergone an episode of eruptive mass loss, ejecting more than the mass of the sun from its atmosphere," Dong said. The astronomers suggest the radio outburst happened when the star exploded in a supernova, with debris from the explosion crashing into the surrounding ...
There aren't any particularly memorable effects in this film. Even the explosion at the end doesn't create much visual spectacle.All these problems could be somewhat forgiveable if Hill could have only injected some tension and adrenaline into the proceedings. For a movie that aims to thrill ...
But the space version takes a lot longer. Let’s say a star 21 million light years away explodes; it takes 21 million years for the light to reach you so that you can see the explosion. You send a radio message to your interstellar neighbor about 100 light years away, but that message...
