A group of space researchers led by Nagoya University astronomer Yasuo Fukui recently captured the world’s first image of a supernova explosion showing gas spreading toward its poles, Fukui said.
Fukui’s group took the photo of the explosion in a cluster of stars in the Carina constellation, around 17,000 light-years from Earth, with the university’s Nanten radio telescope in Chile. (AP)
