Subaru Observations Provide 3D Structure of Supernovae
Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online Japanese researchers using the Faint Object Camera and Spectrograph (FOCAS) on the Subaru Telescope have revealed a clumpy 3D structure of supernovae. The finding supports the clumpy 3D scenario of supernovae explosions, rather than the widely accepted bipolar explosion scenario. The latest research advances the scientific understanding of how supernovae explode, which is a mystery to astronomers. Stars that have reached a mass weighing heavier than eight solar masses will eventually die through a violent explosion called a supernova. A supernova ejects...
