#Star Exploding

Hubble observed a star exploding right before its eyes in the Centaurus A galaxy. This animation spans roughly 1.5 years, with the first frame being a legacy image from 2010. The events depicted occurred just over a month after the initial explosion. What you see is the fading of the supernova, followed by a bluish ring, which is a light echo that began spreading outward right after the explosion.

On Aug. 17, we celebrated the eighth anniversary of GW170817 — the first time light and gravitational waves were seen from the same source! On that day, astronomers detected a pair of orbiting neutron stars — the superdense remnants of collapsed massive stars — colliding and merging with each other. Moments before the subsequent gamma-ray burst was spotted by @NASA space telescopes and other observatories, ground-based observatories picked up a signal from gravitational waves — ripples in spacetime itself — from the same event. This kicked off a new era of multimessenger astronomy, where astronomers can combine observations made in various forms of light with those from other cosmic “messengers,” like gravitational waves or particles. After the initial gamma-ray burst, debris from the explosion continued to glow as it ran into surrounding material, fading as it expanded outward.. Many ground- and space-based telescopes continued to look at GW170817, capturing data in many different types of light — gamma-rays, X-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared light, and radio. This fiery cosmic event opened a new chapter in astronomy and a new perspective on our universe. Video description in the comments.

INFO⚠️ This is a real footage of the type Ia supernova explosion. The supernova, SN 2015F, occurred in NGC 2442 galaxy in early March, 2015, at a distance about 80 million light years away from the earth. Daily cadence images from Feb. 2015 through Oct. 2015, were combined to create the movie. Images were taken with a robotic 17-inch telescope in Australia. Our analysis suggests that this explosion was possibly caused by the interaction between a white dwarf star and a main sequence star with a size of 0.1 - 1.0 times the sun. Enjoy it! #supernova #space #explosion #supernovas #star #universe

😳 • Supernova. A supernova is the biggest explosion that humans have ever seen. Each blast is the extremely bright, super-powerful explosion of a star. 📽: @thomas_vanz

In this zoomed in time-lapse sequence, spanning nearly a year, the supernova first appears as a blazing star located 70 million light-years away on a spiral galaxy’s outer edge. At its peak, the supernova burst was 5 billion times as bright as our Sun. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ The star sent elements like hydrogen, helium, and iron zooming through the cosmos. These same elements are in all of our bodies and they were forged in the stars. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Keep shining.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Credits: NASA/ESA/J. DePasquale (STScI), M. Kornmesser and M. Zamani (ESA/Hubble)/A.

Experience the awe-inspiring power of a supernova! 💥 These cosmic explosions mark the dramatic end of a star's life. It's lighting up the universe and creating the building blocks for new stars. #Supernova #CosmicExplosion #Stars #Astronomy #StellarDeath #Space #Universe

What if the dying star Betelgeuse will explode right now? How will the night sky look like when the light from the supernova explosion reaches our civilization? . Credit : @astronomy.magazine . Follow @cosmoff for more🌌❤️ @cosmoff

Astronomers have revealed the explosive death of a star at its earliest, fleeting stage — seen here in an artist visualization — thanks to swift observations with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope. The opportunity enabled them to unveil the shape of the explosion for the first time. Witnessing this brief early phase wouldn’t have been possible even a day later. The knowledge gained will help scientists tackle numerous questions about how massive stars go supernova. This star, SN 2024ggi, is located in the galaxy NGC 3621 in the direction of the constellation Hydra about 22 million light-years away. “This particular series of observations on 2024ggi is absolutely unprecedented,” said J. Craig Wheeler, UT astronomer and co-author of the study published in Science Advances. Research initiated in the 1980’s at UT Austin led to the current global collaboration and this dramatic result. Using the polarization of light, a technique called spectropolarimetry, allowed researchers to reveal information about the geometry of the explosion that other types of observation cannot provide.
