The Earth may be traveling through the debris of an ancient supernova explosion
The Earth is flying through a cloud of radioactive debris left behind by an ancient supernova explosion, according to a new report by scientists looking at our oceans. A team from the Australian National University (ANU) has made this conclusion after studying radioactive dust found at the bottom of our oceans. While this dust is in small enough […]

Mysterious dimming of Betelgeuse is caused by outburst from the star itself, study suggests
A hot outburst from supergiant Betelgeuse may have caused the star’s recent dimming, according to research conducted using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s Hubble Space Telescope. From December last year to April 2020, scientists observed that Betelgeuse dimmed, sparking speculations that the supergiant is facing a very imminent end. Surprisingly, Betelgeuse began shining brightly […]

Study suggests NASA satellite can be used to observe supernovas and understand why white dwarf stars explode
In April 2018, NASA launched the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), a space telescope with one goal in mind: to hunt for exoplanets (planets that are found beyond the Solar System). However, astronomers from the Ohio State University have suggested that TESS can also be used to observe supernovas. This may be able to give scientists a deeper […]

Earth could have been a hostile ocean planet if not for ancient supernova
Shortly after the birth of the sun, a nearby star came to a thermonuclear end. The stellar funeral pyre bathed the young solar system with large amounts of radioactive metals. Swiss researchers suggest that the heat from aluminum isotopes from this supernova evaporated the excess amounts of water on the young Earth, thereby keeping it from transforming into a lifeless, […]

After a decade, an odd star is back to spitting bright flashes of radio waves at us
Ten years ago, the bright star XTE J1810-197 went dark and silent on the radioscopes without warning. Now, researchers report that the magnetar has recently roused from dormancy and has started behaving differently than it did in the past. A neutron star is the collapsed core of a giant star that went supernova in the distant […]

Heavy elements in space – where did they come from?
An international team led by Goethe University in Germany has successfully converted xenon ions into the heavy element cesium. The results, which appeared in Physical Review Letters, was the first to replicate this phenomenon in a controlled environment. A matter of stardust Nucleosynthesis refers to the creation of atomic nuclei, or broadly defined, the elements. According to astrophysicists, […]

Experts just found 83 MASSIVE black holes at the edge of the universe
Black holes are well-known massive cosmic events, but you don’t expect them to occur all that often. However, Japanese astronomers discovered a staggering 83 quasars powered by supermassive black holes in the early universe. This discovery is instrumental in understanding how common supermassive black holes were during the universe’s infancy. Supermassive black holes are found […]

Stars making stars: Astronomers observe a star so big, it gave birth to its twin
The exciting birth of a newly discovered star turned out to be an even bigger find than expected. British researchers found that the newborn stellar body is accompanied by a much smaller star that formed from the leftover materials that created its mother. MM 1a is a huge protostar whose light takes more than 10,000 years to reach our […]

Newly-found star system in our galaxy could produce a gamma ray burst, one of the brightest events in the universe
We now have proof that there is a star system within the Milky Way galaxy that can give off a gamma ray burst when it finally dies in a couple of hundred thousand years or so — even if we will not be around to witness it finally going off like the massive nuclear firecracker it is. These […]

Some supernova explosions produce large quantities of manganese and nickel
Much of the iron, manganese, and nickel found in the universe come from a specific type of supernova. This supernova starts out as a white dwarf star in a binary system. The carbon-oxygen star detonates right before it reaches the maximum amount of mass it can control. This maximum mass value is called the Chandrasekhar mass. […]
