"It is likely that the 60 Fe peak at about 2–3 Myr originated from a supernova occurring in the Upper Centaurus Lupus association in Scorpius Centaurus (~140 pc) or the Tucana Horologium ...

The story goes that 2.5 million years ago, radiation from a supernova—either in the Scorpius-Centaurus group (460 light-years away) or the Tucana-Horologium group (230 light-years away)—began ...

The second and larger spike seems to have been delivered by a supernova. By calculating the ... from our solar system at the time, while Upper Centaurus Lupus was about 457 light-years away.

The paper, "Hubble Space Telescope Reveals Spectacular Light Echoes Associated with the Stripped-envelope Supernova 2016adj in the Iconic Dust Lane of Centaurus A," was published this week.

Centaurus A (Cen A), located some 12 million ... Launched at the end of 2021, IXPE has already snapped impressive photographs of the supernova remnants Cassiopeia A and the Crab Nebula, as well ...

A supernova would have to be fairly close to ... flagged the most likely culprit for both supernovae as the Scorpi­us-Centaurus association, a loosely bound clump of young stars that are ...

A new image taken by a camera designed to study dark matter has revealed remnants of an ancient supernova explosion ... the constellations Circinus and Centaurus in the southern sky.

In 2016, astronomers saw a supernova going off in a nearby galaxy. Over the following years, they saw the light of this event interacting with the interstellar dust, creating light echoes of the ...

G292.0+1.8 is a fascinating and relatively young supernova remnant located about 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Centaurus. The remnants of a massive star that exploded in a powerful ...

located about 8,000 light-years from Earth near the constellations Circinus and Centaurus. Initially, researchers estimated the supernova remnant to be about 10,000 years old, based on how far the ...
