adding that the blast wave from these explosions will destroy almost everything in its path.

Physics 101 matter cannot be either created or destroyed. So matter is never destroyed. Not sure what the are trying to say. The dust turned to a gas?

Oh, Noes! That’s going to heat up the whole Universe!

Quick! Throw some taxpayer dollars at ‘Universe Warming’ to make it STOP! (Algore ain’t got nothin’ on the cash I’m going to make from THIS scam!)

*SMIRK*

Quite beautiful and wondrous, actually. ;)

I shot this image of Veil Nebula, it's an old supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. It's the remains of cataclysmic explosion of star that exploded about 7,000 years ago. This nebula is about 1,860 light-years distance from earth.

This time-lapse video sequence of Hubble Space Telescope images reveals dramatic changes in a ring of material around the exploded star Supernova 1987A.

The images, taken from 1994 to 2016, show the effects of a shock wave from the supernova blast smashing into the ring. The ring begins to brighten as the shock wave hits it. The ring is about one light-year across.

Discovered in 1987, Supernova 1987A is the closest observed supernova to Earth since 1604. The exploded star resides 163,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way.

Supernova 1987A ping.

Would your dust bunnies survive?

[VanDeKoik]

Are we sure this isnt Starkiller base being destroyed?

Looks like the Eye of Sauron.

God truly drenched the Universe in Beauty.

I had a 1974 Supernova!!

OK it was just a regular Nova but I had super times in it!!

[Chode]

i guess what i don't understand is why we see a ring

when it exploded wasn't the explosion spherical and shouldn't subsequent debris field expand in the same fashion?

[NYer]

According to the government space agency, dust particles might be forming in the blast wave's wake, which gives astronomers new insights into how dust moves through space.
