from Astrum Space · host Astrum
We’ve finally seen a star exploding in real time. For the first time, we have a front-row seat to one of the most violent events in the universe: a supernova. But there’s a catch - the shape of the explosion was not what we expected. In this video, we investigate the inner workings of the blast to find out what’s really going on inside.▀▀▀▀▀▀Astrum's newsletter has launched! Want to know what's happening in space?
