An exploding supernova is a more common phenomenon than you might think, deep in the universe. For now it is only recorded in massive stars.
As is already known a supernova It occurs when a massive star is exploding. We call massive stars those that have an extension as or more impressive than our Sun. In fact, according to the records of space agencies, supernovae have been recorded up to 40 times larger than the Sun. So what summons us today is how far it can be. get the shock wave from this explosion. And also how long can the rubble be kept?
The NASA published on its web portal a study he conducted on Kepler supernova. This exploding star is in our galaxy about 20,000 light years away. For this study they used the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Explain the scientists of the NASA that thanks to Chandra, they managed to capture images of this supernova for a decade and a half. The purpose is to verify the movement of the surrounding particles and the remnant of the explosion.
When speaking of the remnant they refer to the rubble. Any explosion, be it an artificial fire at parties, a nuclear bomb or a supernova leaves consequences in its wake and the debris is the record to understand the intensity of the event. The Kepler explosion was recorded by scientists more than 100 years ago.
The shock wave of the supernova
In this way they have been able to attest that today there are particles of this debris that continue to move at an impressive speed. But when it comes to impressive speed it is seriously unimaginable. Experts say that the debris moves at about 59 million kilometers per hour, 400 years after the explosion.
Review the space agency portal that scientists are fully on the data obtained. Well, they are trying to determine if it is an unusual behavior of the star or if it is normal in the explosions of massive stars. They focus on tracking 15 “small” knots from the Kepler remnant rubble.
