star explosion

NASA's James Webb Telescope captured the astonishing image of an exploding supernova on Friday, providing scientists with new insights. The clear picture of Cassiopeia sheds new light on the constellation. NASA has announced the discovery of the youngest known relic of a supernova explosion, which occurred 340 years ago. This picture was captured by the telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument, which much improves upon earlier infrared photography. The picture is then converted into the spectrum of light we can…

A rare firework display from an 850-year-old star explosion has shocked scientists. A supernova is a super-powerful explosion of a massive dying star. It is extremely bright. A supernova usually spews out dust and gas, but in a strange event, a new one has been found that looks totally different. In fact, it looks like a fireworks display! Astronomer Robert Fesen, from Dartmouth College of New Hampshire, who snapped the remnant last year, found an unusual cosmic firework display around the Supernova and he told Nature,…

In an amazing achievement, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured a massive supernova explosion, which may be among the first ever in Universe. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope did something extraordinary! It captured light from a star that exploded over 11 billion years ago not just as one postcard from the remote past but as three phases from the star's explosion to fading away over a period of one week. However, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured the three different moments in a far-off supernova explosion in a…

A supernova is a stellar explosion, which occurs when the lives of some really massive stars come to an end. A supernova is a stellar explosion, which occurs when the lives of some really massive stars come to an end. In this violent epilogue, the star expels the material from its outer layers by means of a shock wave, allowing us to see the various elements it was composed of.The research team developed a model of the gravitational field of the galaxy that acted as a lens, and that way it was possible to determine…

We have often heard and read about giant stars dying violently in deep space. Ever imagined what kind of a sight it would be? How would a star appear as it nears its end from Earth? We may finally have an answer. In a first for astronomy, researchers were able to see in real time the death by explosion of a giant red star using ground-based telescopes. They saw the star, located 120 million light-years away from Earth in the NGC 5731 galaxy, self-destruct in a dramatic event and collapse in a type-2 supernova.The…
