Apr 7th: Metal-rich Star. Parents Being Sought
A ninth-magnitude star in our neighborhood of the Milky Way has been found to contain 65 different elements, including large proportions of heavier elements like gold. This star required either a supernova or a neutron star merger to form.
Dec 13th: Cosmic Manatee with a Particle Accelerator on its Head
Scientists observing the Manatee Nebula find that the supernova remnant contains a stellar-mass black hole that is emitting powerful, high-energy jets, creating the strange, double-lobed shape.
Jun 1st: Awesome Astronomy June 2022 News Round-up
Time for your June sky guide and news round up with @AwesomeAstroPod. This month we have A companion star that survived a supernova, dark matter stripped away in galaxies, and of course the image of Sagittarius A*.
