Hubble space telescope is an eye to NASA, capturing stunning images of distant stars, clusters, and most importantly, the supernova explosion.
Recently, NASA managed to capture a supernova explosion named UGC 11860 galaxy. The picture is taken with the powerful wide field camera 3.
A spiral galaxy appears as the Milky Way consisting of elongated beautiful spiral arms moving around in a circular motion. The densely packed central core of the galaxy is the sign of the giant black hole holding the entire structure together with its immense gravitational force.
The UGC 11860 spiral galaxy is approximately 184 million light years away from the Pegasus. It is drifting in the vast space and occupying the large area where it is churning the new stars in its spiraling arms.
Distance observation showcases its tranquility, but the spiral galaxies are the universe’s building blocks. They are known as the factories where the newborn stars take place in the vastness of the universe.
A giant cloud of gases collects in the densely packed region and creates enough gravity to force the center of it to light up in the nuclear fusion reaction. An explosion of the energy from the center of the nuclei fusion gives birth to a new star similar to our Sun.
Additionally, the stellar explosion of the dying stars into a supernova is the most hostile event in all galaxies. Similar blasts have been recorded by the Hubble telescope recently.
As per the data recorded by Hubble and analyzed at the ground-based research center, the blast took place in a massive start near its end after burning the fuel for millions of years.
A supernova explosion emits a high amount of energy thrown into space. The force of the blast creates shockwaves in all directions, which can be detected millions of light years from its origin. The space and ground-based telescope capture luminosity to understand its effect and cause in the nearby stars clusters.
Supernova emits gas, dust, and precious metal during the explosion. As per the research, it is found that gold metal is produced under the extreme heat and pressure of the supernova explosion, which we today found in the earth deposit.
After the supernova explosion, the remnant of the gas shells and radiation can be detected by the cameras and sensors available in Hubble.
All the foreign elements we find in space are primarily produced in the supernova explosion. Therefore, learning about these events is crucial for humans. Elements that we see on the earth came from these supernova explosions. The particles are collected by the debris floating in space those lands on the earth during the meteorite impact through several years of evolution. Most of the earth’s minerals and precious metals used on the earth for industrial purposes were all produced in the supernova explosion.
Understanding the Supernova explosion and its impact on space is vital. It will tell us how the entire universe forms and where it is heading by studying the tiny details that these supernova explosions provide us.
The first image of the UGC 11860 was taken back in 2014 using the wide-range camera three mounted on the Hubble telescope. Since then, the information has helped scientists and astrophysicists investigate the stellar explosion’s aftermath.
Examining the data, we can learn more about the natural events occurring in space. Especially the explosion in the galaxies teaches us how our milky way galaxy works.
Earth is located in the outer region of the Milky Way galaxy and which blocks our view of the galaxy. Observing other galaxies allows us to learn more about our galaxy and predict future events. Massive events such as supernovas are taking place in our galaxies as well.
These events change the surroundings and indirectly affect our position in the galaxy. Observing the other galaxies will tell us what triggers these events and how the aftermath affects the galaxy structure and surrounding objects.
Studying supernova explosions will improve our understanding and change our perspective on the universe. The star system is responsible for several events in the galaxy.
Valuable information collected from these events will teach us more about our Sun and its changing cores. The being who wants to dominate space should have a strong foundation of space events to keep us safe and ready for future events.
