Jul 31st: Supernova. The Difference Between Type 1 & Type 2
Supernovae are powerful explosions in Universe, releasing more energy in a moment than most stars release in their entire lifetimes.
Jul 26th: Strange Supernova Appears Cool Before Exploding
Researchers find that the “oddball supernova” of a curiously cool, yellow star was lacking the hydrogen content expected.
Jun 7th: Dark Matter Delays Supernova Signal
A supernova first observed in 2016 will be replayed in a few years because of the light’s journey through a galaxy cluster and how dark matter gravitationally warps space-time.
Jan 25th: Millards in Space!
Lets explore the the first proof connecting supernovae to black holes and neutron stars, cyclones on a far-away world, dazzling images of Io, and the true color of Neptune.
Dec 16th: Tune in to the Supernova Radio!
For the first time ever, astronomers have detected radio waves coming from a Type Ia supernova!
Dec 14th: Same Old
What is Lagrange points, particularly L4 and L5? Can neutrinos predict supernova explosions? Find the answers with @CheapAstro
Oct 14th: The Cosmic Finch
Today’s NOIRLab Astro discuss about a new supernova event from Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients class that more powerful than the average supernova.
May 10th: Stellar Death Just Got More Lit!
Remember that new object COW, named for a strange supernova? We’ve seen four more of these Fast Blue Optical Transients, and new research may even have figured out just how and why they occur
Apr 25th: Hubble Discovered A Star Hidden By Companion’s Supernova
Data from the Hubble Space Telescope has determined that the newly discovered companion of a star that went supernova had its outer hydrogen layer siphoned off before the explosion. The results support the theory that massive stars generally form and evolve as binary systems
