Supernova SN 1181 Reveals Rare “Zombie Star” in Pa 30 Nebula
- Monday October 28, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A supernova recorded in 1181, known as SN 1181, has been linked to the Pa 30 nebula, revealing a rare “zombie star.” Advanced 3D imaging from the Keck Observatory has shown unusual filaments expanding from this star, marking it as a unique case in supernova studies. This zombie star survived a thermonuclear explosion on a white dwarf, challengi...

Supermassive Black Hole Jets Spark Increased Nova Explosions, Hubble Discovers
- Thursday October 3, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Recent findings from the Hubble Space Telescope reveal that supermassive black hole jets may be responsible for an increase in nova explosions in nearby double-star systems. This unexpected connection indicates that the energetic jets emitted by black holes can influence the surrounding stellar environment, leading to heightened activity in nova er...

"Once-In-A-Lifetime" Cosmic Explosion Will Be Visible From Earth, Says NASA
- Thursday June 20, 2024
- Science | Edited by Ritu Singh
The "Blaze Star," which is a binary system in the Northern Crown about 3,000 light years from Earth, is comprised of a white dwarf, an Earth-sized remnant of a dead star with a mass comparable to the sun.

Dormant Black Hole Deemed ‘Needle in a Haystack’ Identified Outside the Milky Way
- Tuesday July 19, 2022
- Reuters
Astronomers have identified a black hole that not only is classified as dormant but appears to have been born without the explosion of a dying star, in a galaxy adjacent to the Milky Way. Black holes are extraordinarily dense objects with gravity so intense not even light can escape. Deemed a cosmic "needle in a haystack", the newly discovered ‘d...

Spectacular Gamma Radiation From Collapse Of Dying Star Could Change Understanding Of The Universe
- Monday June 7, 2021
- Edited by Gadgets 360 Newsdesk
Scientists have recorded a cosmic explosion of gamma radiation from a collapsing star that challenges the established theory of gamma-ray bursts. The scientists said that these explosions occur when a massive star abruptly detonates and turns into a black hole.

This Suspected Supernova Is 570 Billion Times As Bright As Our Sun
- Friday January 15, 2016
- World News | Rachel Feltman, The Washington Post
A small, bright object that first flared up in June could be the brightest, most powerful supernova ever spotted by astronomers. If it is indeed a supernova, the object ASASSN-15lh pushes the upper limits of what scientists thought exploding stars were capable of. And if it's not a supercharged supernova, it may be something even more mysterious.
