Bizarre star may have been forged in a gigantic “hypernova”

A bizarre star may have its origins in one of the most energetic events in the cosmos. Astronomers have found that a star with a very unusual composition may have formed in the wake of a new type of hypernova – a stellar explosion with 10 times the ene… Continue reading Bizarre star may have been forged in a gigantic “hypernova”

Gamma rays 10 times more energetic than thought possible detected

Astronomers have detected the highest-energy light ever seen, streaming in from near the center of the Milky Way. Hundreds of gamma ray signals were detected with ultra-high energies, with the most powerful signals crossing the Peta-electronvolt (PeV) … Continue reading Gamma rays 10 times more energetic than thought possible detected

Colossal primordial stars may have seeded supermassive black holes

The supermassive black holes lurking at the center of most galaxies, including our own, are believed to have grown so big by gobbling up matter over billions of years. But a new study suggests they may have taken a shortcut, starting life as a hypothet… Continue reading Colossal primordial stars may have seeded supermassive black holes

Smoking gun of rare “zombie star” supernova discovered in Milky Way

Astronomers have identified the remains of a rare type of supernova in our home galaxy for the first time. These events, known as Type Iax supernovae, occur when white dwarfs explode and may leave behind a “zombie star.”Continue ReadingCategory: Space,… Continue reading Smoking gun of rare “zombie star” supernova discovered in Milky Way

NASA sonification videos reveal the sounds of famous cosmic objects

A new NASA release has converted astronomy data into sounds, allowing the listener to hear musical compositions derived from the structure of the cosmos itself. The process, which the agency describes as “sonification,” takes key data points in images … Continue reading NASA sonification videos reveal the sounds of famous cosmic objects

Betelgeuse is closer to Earth and further from exploding than we thought

The star Betelgeuse has been a bit of a drama queen lately, dimming twice in the past year. Now astronomers say they’ve found what may have caused the latest episode – and in so doing, also discovered that the star is smaller, closer to Earth and furth… Continue reading Betelgeuse is closer to Earth and further from exploding than we thought

NASA “Sonification” project lets us hear the cosmos

We’re used to seeing the output of telescopes as images, but what if we could translate that data into sound? A new “Sonification” project from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Center has done just that, letting us hear the center of the Milky Way, the supernova r… Continue reading NASA “Sonification” project lets us hear the cosmos
