Scientists, For The First Time, Observed A Star Explode Into A Supernova. The Star, ~120 Million Light-Years Away, Was Observed, For 130 Days Before It Exploded, Using The University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS Telescope In Maui. Supernovas Are Usually Only Detected, But A Few Of A Different Type Stars Have Also Been Caught In An Exploding Act.

NASA, Using The Chandra X-Ray Telescope, May Have Discovered The First Exoplanet Outside Of Our Galaxy. The New Saturn-Sized Exoplanet Is Said To Be 28 Million Light-Years From Earth In The Messier 51 Galaxy. All Of The ~5000 Exoplanets Discovered Were Within The Milky Way. And Most Of Them Are Less Than 3,000 Light-Years From Earth.

A New Study Is Indicating That Glycine, And Probably Other Amino Acids, Which Are Building Blocks Of Life, Can Form In Very Cold Dense Interstellar Clouds Before The Clouds Become Stars And Planets. This Notion Is Supported By Glycine Discovery In Comet 67P. Glycine Formation Was Previously Thought To Require The Presence Of Energy.

Stars Leave Something Behind When They Die. Majority Of Them Become White Dwarfs–Dense Stellar Remains With Temperatures That Reach 100,000 Kelvin, While Some Stars Explode In A Supernova, Turning Into A Black Hole Or A Neutron Star. The White Dwarf Remnants Are Said To Be The Main Source Of Carbon, A Crucial Element For Life.

The Biggest And Brightest Supernova, As A Result Of Extremely Bright And Powerful Explosion Of A Dying Massive Star, May Have Been Discovered, In 2016, By Scientists At The Center For Astrophysics. The Supernova, Called SN2016aps, Radiated More Than 5X The Explosion Energy Of A Typical Supernova.

The brightest supernova ever seen…

An Extinct Clam Fossil Is Indicating That About 70 Myrs Ago, The Earth’s Day Was Shorter–About 23.5 Hours And The Days In The Year Were Longer–About 372 Days. This Evidence Was Derived By Studying The Growth Patterns And Rhythms On The Clam’s Shell. The Earth/Moon Distance Relationship Is Said To Be Responsible For The Phenomenon.

Betelgeuse, A Star That Is <10 MYr Old And ~643 LY From Earth, Is Said To Be On The Brink Of Going Massive Supernova. This’s Because This 11th Brightest Star In The Night Sky And 2nd Brightest In The Orion Constellation Is Beginning To Fade. The Explosion, Visible From Earth, Will Have No Effect On Earth Due To Its Distance.

Wow! Scientists From The Event Horizon Telescope Project
Have For The First Time, Using A Virtual Telescope Dish As Large As Earth, Photographed A Real Supermassive Black Hole. The Black Hole Is 55 Million Light-Years From Earth, At The Center Of Galaxy Messier 87, And Has A Mass Some 6.5 Billion Times That Of Our Sun.

Another Uniquely Brief Low-Frequency Radio Wave (About 580 MHz), Named FRB 180725A, Has Been Detected, July 25th, 2018, By New Array Of Telescopes In Canada. But Unlike Other Fast Radio Bursts (FRB) That Reach Earth, The Powerful Source Of FRB 180725A Has Not Been Determined. Yes, I can Already Hear Some Folks Screaming Alien Source!!
