Rise and fall of type Ia supernova, SN 2015F

A pair of "extremely rare, high mass, compact binary star system only ~150 light years away" are on course to create a type 1a supernova explosion, according to the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics. See an animation of the event here (looped). Read more👉 https://space-com.visitlink.me/kf27KN Credit: Dr. Ruediger Pakmor, Scientific Staff, Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics | Space.com

• Supernova SN2015f in Host Spiral Galaxy NGC 2442 9.1.2019 • Sit back and watch a star explode. The actual supernova 50 million years ago but images of the spectacular event began arriving 7 years ago. Supernova 2015F was discovered in nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2442 by Berto Monard in 2015 March and was unusually bright -- enough to be seen with only a small telescope. The pattern of brightness variation indicated a Type Ia supernova -- a type of stellar explosion that results when an Earth-size

A Supernova Remnant Video Decades in Making | NASA Chandra [Budget Alert] FriendsofNASA.org: A new video shows the exciting development of Kepler’s Supernova Remnant using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory captured over more than two and a half decades. Kepler’s Supernova Remnant, named after the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, was first spotted in the night sky in 1604. Today, astronomers know that a white dwarf star exploded when it exceeded a critical mass, after pulling material
