An artist’s impression of the record-breakingly powerful, superluminous supernova ASASSN-15lh that was recently discovered by the Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN), as it would appear from a hypothetical exoplanet located about 10,000 light years away in the host galaxy of the hypernova. (Image Credit: Beijing Planetarium / Jin Ma) A means to portray […] Illustration showing the central region of our galaxy as seen by NuSTAR (magenta circle). The smaller circle shows where the image was taken. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech It sounds like something from a bad sci-fi movie, but a NASA space telescope has detected what might be the X-ray “screams” from dead (zombie) stars. The […] This is the first map of radioactivity in a supernova remnant, the blown-out bits and pieces of a massive star that exploded. The blue color shows radioactive material mapped in high-energy X-rays using NuSTAR. Heated, non-radioactive elements previously imaged by Chandra using low-energy X-rays are shown in red, yellow, and green. Image Credit/Caption: […] An extraordinary jet trailing behind a runaway pulsar is seen in this composite image that contains data from Chandra (purple), radio data from the ACTA (green), and optical data from the 2MASS survey (red, green, and blue). The pulsar—a spinning neutron star—and its tail are found in the lower right of this image. […] Since its inaugural deployment from the shuttle in April 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has peered deeper into the cosmos than ever before in human history. The recent discovery of Supernova SN Wilson—more than 10 billion years old—refines scientists’ yardstick for the age of the Universe. Photo Credit: NASA More than two decades […] |
