NASA: Detailed analysis by the researchers found that filaments in the outer part of Cas A NASA: A recent study unveils that the peculiar green light resembling a Grinch, known as the Green Monster and initially observed last year weaving through the illuminated remnants of a supernova, is associated with a blast wave at the …
Modern science has enabled us to peek beyond our planet, and into space. Many visuals taken from outer space are breathtaking and leave us in awe. We are going to show you one of them today. An amazing image of a celestial spectacle was captured by the European Space Agency (ESA). The image shows an …
The Japanese-led XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) on Saturday released a first look at the data that scientists expect it to collect when science operations begin this year. The mission team revealed an image of hundreds of galaxies and a spectrum of stellar wreckage in a nearby galaxy, which can tell scientists what they …
The European Space Agency (ESA) took to Instagram to share a series of images and videos that show an incredible sight from deep space. Captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, these visuals show the supernova remnant of a star that ‘shattered like a glass’. The image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope of …
A stunning new image of a supernova remnant combines data from four different telescopes to show a colorful, detailed picture of a busy region of space. The remnant 30 Doradus B (or 30 Dor B) was created when a massive star came to the end of its life and exploded, and while the explosion was …
In 2019, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope saw a supernova, nicknamed Supernova Requiem, in a distant galaxy named MRG-M0138. Now seven years later, the James Webb Space Telescope has detected another gravitationally lensed supernova within the same galaxy, marking the first-ever instance of two gravitationally lensed supernovae in a single galactic host. Gravitational lensing occurs …
When a violent shake of space-time hit the Earth on August 17, 2017, it was not only possible to measure gravitational waves for the first time, which had previously only existed in theory. It also provided scientists around the world with countless pieces of valuable data. And the source of the gigantic explosion was identified …
Scientists found that this burst toasted one side of the Earth’s Ozone layer. (Representative pic) In a mind-boggling discovery, scientists have found that a supernova explosion billions of light years away was so powerful that it “temporarily destroyed” some of the Earth’s ozone layer in 2022. According to the New York Times (NYT), on October …
The nucleus of Lead-208 is neutron-rich, containing 82 protons and 126 neutrons. Its structure is one of its more intriguing features; protons and neutrons coexist at its center, while a diffuse shell of neutrons surrounds its outer edges. It is known as the neutron “skin.” Studying the neutron skin can contribute to our understanding of …
By Katrina Miller NEW YORK: On Oct. 9, 2022, telescopes in space picked up a jet of high energy photons careening through the cosmos toward Earth, evidence of a supernova exploding 1.9 billion light-years away. Such events are known as gamma ray bursts, and astronomers who have continued studying this one said it was the …
