New 3D-printable models of Chandra X-ray Observatory images will allow you to hold a star in your hands and touch a supernova remnant.
Dubbed Teleios, the unusually symmetrical space object is puzzling astronomers with its near-perfect shape and mysterious ...
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new supernova remnant that showcases a remarkable circular ...
Another supernova remnant accessible to visual astronomers is the sprawling Veil Nebula (NGC 6960, among others) in Cygnus, also known as the Cygnus Loop. The star that created it 10,000–20,000 ...
Dubbed "Teleios" after the Greek word for "perfect," the object is what's known as a supernova remnant (SNR), a glowing cloud of hot gases and other material left behind after a massive star dies ...
"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." ...
Sophisticated computational models let us examine objects such as supernova remnants in extraordinary detail and from every ...
The new study, detailed in a paper published April 16 on the preprint server arXiv, yields important insights into the properties of this remnant. Supernova remnants (SNRs) are diffuse ...
"The four new 3D printable models of Cassiopeia A (Cas A), G292.0+1.8 (G292), Cygnus Loop supernova remnants, and the star known as BP Tau let us experience the celestial objects in the form of ...
