Scientists Sees type II Supernova in Cartwheel Galaxy
Type II Supernova in Cartwheel Galaxy has been confirmed by the scientists of the European Southern Observatory (ESO). According to the study, the Type II Supernova is formed when a large star is running out of fuel that acts as the basic requirement to keep the star from collapsing under its gravity. The Supernova dubbing SN2021 afdx.
Highlights
- Observers can see the Supernova or a stellar explosion.
- A smaller galaxy close ta o big one merged with it.
- The snapshot by the astronomers was received in December 2021.
European Southern Observatory sees an explosion that happed in the Cartwheel Galaxy and captured that ring size structure of the explosion. As per the scientist, the explosion was looked at the Type II supernova in the Cartwheel galaxy. The supernova is dubbed SN2021afdx. The specific type of supernova comes out in this structure of explosion when a large star runs out of fuel which is the requirement to keep the star from collapsing under its gravity. It has been found that this supernova also features Hyd5rogen and as per the image released by #ESO shows a bright spot in the lower-left corner that is expected to be the presence of a supernova.
The distance of the earth from the galaxy is around 500 million light-years. The galaxy named Cartwheel was mixed earlier with a small galaxy several millions of years ago that resulting in the two-ring-shaped structure.
ESO used the New Technology Telescope (NTT) to capture the image of the Supernova ring of the Cartwheel galaxy. The scientist also got the snapshot in December 2021. The explosion can be visible to the observers for months and years.
The European Southern Observatory (ESO) stated about the supernova as “Supernova’s are one of the reasons astronomers says we are all made of stardust: they sprinkle the surrounding space with heavy elements forged by the progenitor star, which may end up being part of the later generations of stars, the planets around them and life that may exist in those planets,” says ESO after capturing the beautiful ring-like image.
