In 1181 AD, a bright "guest star" was observed to linger in the sky for around six months. Nearly 850 years later, the likely remnants of this event were rediscovered and tentatively linked to the ...

Italian astronomers have developed a 3-D model for the supernova remnant (SNR) IC 443 in order to investigate the morphology of this source. The model allowed the researchers to gain more insights ...

These Chandra images reveal how stars end their life in majesty Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory The supernova that resulted in the creation of SNR 0509-67.5 occurred nearly 400 years ago for ...

"Why are we here?" is humanity's most fundamental and persistent question. Tracing the origins of the elements is a direct attempt to answer this at its deepest level. We know many elements are ...

Supernova 1987A, the nearest observed supernova in modern history, continues to offer profound insights into the life‐cycle of massive stars. Its distinctive features, including a prominent equatorial ...

XRISM observations of Cassiopeia A reveal abundant chlorine and potassium, showing supernovae can forge these life-linked elements and clarifying their cosmic origins. (Nanowerk News) "Why are we here ...
