Astronomers announced the discovery of the brightest, most energetic, & most massive supernova. And the new theory possibly Explaining the mysterious interstellar object ‘Oumuamua!
Betelgeuse, a massive star in the Orion constellation, is dimming. Could it be about to explode in a spectacular supernova? What would that look like here on Earth?
How can a supernova become even more powerful? Why do we have such a hard time studying them, let alone defining them? What happens when you let a giant star unleash its full potential?
We’ve been following this story for more than a decade, so it’s great to finally have an answer to the question, why was supernova 2006gy so insanely bright? Astronomers originally thought it was an example of a supermassive star exploding, but new evidence provides an even more fascinating answer.
As we begin the new decade we struggle to find a consensus on whether it actually is a new decade. But here’s the news roundup & sky guide with @AwesomeAstroPod at 3365DaysOfAstro
Time for astronomy weekly update. This week we have all-female spacewalk, 3D print meet on ISS, transit of Mercury, & discussion with Dr. Aileen Yingst, Space Geologist
Collecting stuff is fun but it can also tell you something about the things you’re collecting. One of the collection are pictures of stars explosion.
