International scientists have uncovered new clues about the supernova remnant called Tycho. The findings shed light on how conditions in the shock waves caused by titantic stellar explosions ...

The white dwarf that led to the historic Tycho supernova died in a violent explosion, but its legacy resembles a fluffy pink cotton ball. The latest image released on Feb. 28 shows the Tycho ...

Astronomers used NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer to study the remains of a supernova called Tycho. They were able to discover how Tycho accelerates particles closer to the speed of light ...

Using data from NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), international researchers have uncovered new information about the Tycho supernova remnant, an exploded star in the ...

Tycho is the name of the supernova remnant, which bears the name of the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, who discovered it in the Cassiopeia constellation in 1572. In the latest research ...

Tycho Brahe’s observation of a supernova in 1572, which became known as “Tycho’s Supernova,” was significant because it ...

A scientific team using data from an Alabama-led NASA telescope mission appears to have unlocked mysteries of a historic supernova so old Shakespeare may have seen it. The exploded remains of ...

Tycho, one of the best studied supernova remnants, may have briefly served as the most powerful collider in the universe, new research hints. | Credit: MPIA/NASA/Calar Alto Observatory Supernovas ...

Others have been observed since Tycho, – Kepler’s Star in 1604 and Supernova 1987A, in the neighbouring LMC galaxy, in 1987. During such explosions, all the chemical elements, except helium ...

In fact, they look like this puffy, glowing celestial jellyfish: That's the remnant of SN 1572, otherwise known as the Tycho Supernova, located some 13,000 light years away from Earth in the Milky ...

But what Tycho and Kepler (among others) saw were supernovas — explosions 10,000 times more powerful than novas. There are two kinds of supernova. A Type I supernova occurs when an elderly white ...
