Supernova Explosion Caught Just 26 Hours After Blast - SN 2024ggi Revealed!

Описание: Discover the mystery of supernova explosions with new data from SN 2024ggi, observed only 26 hours after it began using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope.
Learn how this Type II supernova in galaxy NGC 3621 shed light on the core collapse, shock wave breakout, and whether it's neutrino-driven or jet-driven.
Astrophysicists used spectropolarimetry to reveal the olive-shaped shock wave and its axial symmetry, challenging existing models of stellar death.
Explore the stages of a supernova: core collapse, bounce shock, and the brightening breakout that lights up the sky for months.
This groundbreaking research from Tsinghua University and ESO astronomers provides insights into stellar evolution and the physics behind cosmic fireworks.
