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

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
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
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
Radioactive isotopes found in ocean sediments show that Earth has been traveling through a cloud of fallout from an ancient supernova for the past 33,000 years. A team of researchers led by Prof. Anton Wallner, a nuclear physicist at the Australian Nat… Continue reading Ancient supernova remnants found in ocean sediments
The Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory in Japan has received a relatively simple upgrade that should allow it to look further back in time. A rare-earth element called gadolinium has been added to the water in the huge underground facility, which wi… Continue reading Rare-earth element upgrade to help observatory detect ancient neutrinos
The universe may have started with a Big Bang, but it will most likely end in an utterly anticlimactic way, slowly fading to black over trillions and trillions of years. Now, a theoretical physicist at Illinois State University has calculated what migh… Continue reading Black dwarf supernovae might be the last event in the universe
A supernova may seem like a pretty final fate, but now astronomers have discovered a star that apparently survived this explosive process. It wasn’t without consequence, however – the star was kicked out of a tight binary orbit and flung across the gal… Continue reading Strange star somehow survives supernova, shoots off across galaxy
