Supernova Remnant Found Near Galactic Core
from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
NASA may have spotted the ghost of a massive star explosion near our galaxy’s core — a potential supernova remnant hidden in Sagittarius C, a star-birth hotspot. Evidence from Chandra, XMM-Newton, MeerKAT, and Pan-STARRS points to a bright, expanding structure that could be the closest known supernova remnant to the supermassive black hole at our galaxy’s heart. While earlier clues from SOFIA hinted at an expanding gas shell, the current data suggests it’s more likely a supernova than a star cluster — thanks to its unusually intense brightness. If confirmed, this discovery could rewrite our understanding of galactic evolution, revealing how supernovas recycle cosmic material to fuel new stars and planets — and maybe even life.
