Scientists have, for the first time, observed the internal structure of a dying star as it exploded, providing a rare insight into stellar evolution. This breakthrough was achieved through the study of Supernova 1987A, located 168,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The supernova, whose light reached Earth on February 23, 1987, is the brightest observed since 1604. The explosion revealed a one-light-year-wide glowing ring illuminated by the shockwave striking gas expelled by the star. Researchers noted that the star had shed most of its outer layers before the explosion, effectively exposing its interior anatomy. This observation was supported by combined data from multiple telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. Additionally, a new type of supernova, SN2021yfj, was identified, characterized by an unusual abundance of heavy elements such as silicon, sulfur, and argon, offering further clues into the composition and life cycle of massive stars. These findings have been published in the journal Nature and mark a milestone in understanding the final stages of stellar life cycles. The use of artificial intelligence also played a role in detecting a rare supernova event, SN 2023zkd, approximately 730 million light-years from Earth. Beyond supernovae, recent astronomical imaging has captured detailed views of various cosmic phenomena, including the Horsehead Nebula in Orion and the Sombrero Galaxy, enhancing knowledge of star formation and galactic structures.
