Scientists Find Symmetric Supernova Remnant in Milky Way
Astronomers reveal Pa 30, a star explosion remnant from 1181 that defies physics with perfect symmetry.
In brief
Astronomers reveal Pa 30, a star explosion remnant from 1181 that defies physics with perfect symmetry. Scientists observed a 1181 supernova remnant in Cassiopeia that shows perfect symmetry despite violent explosion. Originally reported by Futurism.
Historical Supernova Observation
Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic astronomers documented a star explosion in 1181 visible for 185 days.
Pa 30's Unique Structure
The remnant shows uniform knots of ionized gases with red sulfur and blue-green oxygen filaments.
Proximity to Earth
Pa 30 lies 7,500 light-years from Earth, a quarter the distance to the Milky Way's center.
Symmetric Explosion Puzzle
The explosion preserved the progenitor star at the center despite chaotic energy release.
Zombie Star Explanation
Pa 30 is the only known survivor of a Type Iax supernova where two white dwarfs collided.
The main idea
Scientists observed a 1181 supernova remnant in Cassiopeia that shows perfect symmetry despite violent explosion.
