Supernova Remnants Found in Oceanic Samples, Scientists Look to Moon
- Wednesday March 26, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists have identified supernova debris in deep-sea sediments, including a rare plutonium isotope linked to a kilonova. Researchers believe a neutron star collision occurred nearly 10 million years ago, scattering radioactive material across space. To validate this theory, they plan to analyze lunar soil, which remains undisturbed by Earth's ge...

Supernova Remnant G278.94+1.35 is Closer to Earth, Claims New Study
- Friday January 10, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers discovered that the supernova remnant G278.94+1.35 is located just 3,300 light years away, much closer than previously believed. Initially thought to span over 500 light years, it is now estimated to measure around 189 by 182 light years. Named "Diprotodon" after Australia’s extinct giant marsupial, this structure remains in an expand...

Giant Mysterious Ring Near Milky Way Galaxy Could Be an Intergalactic Supernova Remnant
- Tuesday May 17, 2022
- Edited by Gadgets 360 Newsdesk
The international team of experts found a mysterious circular ring that is believed to be the remains of an exploded star. This giant ring-shaped phenomenon near our neighbouring galaxy is being called a "rogue" supernova remnant. Named J0624–6948, it is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
