Volume rendering of the entropy in a full 3-D GRMHD simulation of a differentially rotating and highly magnetized progenitor to a supernova. Red colors indicate high entropy (hot) material while ...

This is a movie of the explosion of a double white dwarf binary star system. The simulation was published in Nature Astronomy by James Munday and collaborations in LINK. Full credit goes to Dr ...

Their supernova simulation raised other questions because its cosmic rays likely bombarded Earth with enough intensity to ...

New three-dimensional (3D) models of objects in space have been released by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. These 3D models ...

Astronomers have long predicted that two orbiting white dwarfs are the cause of most type 1a supernova explosions. While the pair are in close orbit, the heavier of the two theoretically accumulates ...

"Thanks to the high resolution of our new images, we detected a faint structure on the northeast side of this supernova remnant that had not been observed before." The Hubble Space Telescope may ...

The simulation was published in Nature Astronomy ... and despite being so close to our solar system, this supernova will not endanger our planet. Right now, the white dwarfs are leisurely ...

In the year 1181 (the supernova's namesake), humankind was ... who was part of the amazing 3D simulation. The phenomenon of a zombie star has fascinated astronomers for decades.

It's called Supernova. It's described as the world's first multi-role space superiority platform. ARC Seattle's Holly Menino sat down with Thornburg to find out what the Supernova can do and how ...

The supernova remnant in question is MC SNR J0519–6902, first discovered in 1981. This wreckage has a ring-like structure that is around 26 light-years in diameter — that's wide enough to fit ...
