A symmetrical, glowing nebula shaped like an ant stretches out in opposite directions from a bright central star. The twin lobes of the nebula are narrow, curving outward and then tapering off, creating the appearance of pincers or insect legs. The structure is reddish-orange with fine details of gas and dust, surrounded by dark space. The central region is bright and compact, highlighting the star system driving the outflow.

Observations of recently detected SN 2024aecx suggest it's a Type IIb supernova Astronomers from the Yunnan University in China and other institutions have carried out photometric and spectroscopic observations of a recently detected supernova designated SN 2024aecx. Results of t...

Supernova SN 2024aecx, captured by ZTF, showed signs of shedding material before it exploded. Studying this helps astronomers better understand the final stages of massive stars.

False-color radio image of a supernova remnant in M82 galaxy, 12 million light-years away. The image, 1.5 light-years across, was created using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), combining data from 20 radio telescopes across Earth. Shows detailed structure of expanding stellar debris cloud.
