“The next entry will feature several new human characters alongside the beloved and iconic Titans #Godzilla and #Kong as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat” - and that movie, now in production, is called "Godzilla x Kong: #Supernova": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa3nW0EYYcQ

Wir waren am vergangenen Donnerstag bei #supernova-lights in #Gundelfingen zu Gast und durften mit Gründer, Designer und geschäftsführendem Inhaber Marcus Wallmeyer in die Welt der hochwertigen Fahrradbeleuchtung eintauchen. Wir haben Supernova als nachhaltigen Betrieb voller Fahrrad-Nerds mit einem tollen Servicegedanken wahrgenommen - in Gundelfingen werden die Lichter entworfen, entwickelt und in Handarbeit produziert (unter anderem haben auch Polizeibehörden aus Amerika Interesse an einer Spezialentwicklung). Und wenn nach einigen Jahren doch mal was flackert werden die Leuchten auch repariert! Solche Betriebe findet man (nur noch) selten... #Fahrrad #Beleuchtung #Nachhaltigkeit

A salient comment from the chat:

"Some studies suggest it may be in the carbon-burning phase, which precedes a supernova. However, even in this phase, a supernova is not expected for several decades to centuries"

Always expect the unexpected.

No one has any idea exactly when it will go off, but it should be spectacular when it does.

As I said, if you want to watch a blob on a screen, have I found the stream for you!

This guy's going to monetize a supernova, isn't he?

It has been doing this for months, but is expected to go supernova sometime in the near future, likely this year. It's a view from a Celestron at 1000x resolution.

Ignore his "prediction." If you're lucky, you'll be watching.

Now it's back to orange/yellow.

It's over 600 light years away. We're watching this as Mitch McConnell was being born.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwsmWyWWRoo

Well, it changed from orange/yellow to red/orange.

When it goes off, be sure to remind the heathens that their gods are angry because of Republicans screwing with science funding.

Beautiful emission #nebula NGC 6164 was created by a rare, hot, luminous O-type #star, some 40 times as massive as the Sun.

Seen at the center of the cosmic cloud, the star is a mere 3 to 4 million years old. In another three to four million years the massive star will end its life in a #supernova explosion.

That's astonishing. I always thought a supernova is a one-in-a-century kind of thing. Until I read this blog post by an astronomer:

 New header picture 

It shows the two supernova remnants Cassiopeia A (left, in X-rays) and Vela Jr. (right, at radio wavelengths). Both harbor a “central compact object”, a neutron star left behind together with the debris cloud after the supernova.

Researchers from the permanent independent @maxplanckgesellschaft research group “Continuous Gravitational Waves” at @mpi_grav in Hanover, Germany, have been searching for gravitational waves from these central compact objects using the volunteer distributed computing project @einsteinathome.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.09731

The fact that they did not find any gravitational waves indicates that the neutron stars can only be minimally deformed.

 Neues Header-Bild 

Es zeigt die beiden Supernova-Überreste Cassiopeia A (links, im Röntgenbereich) und Vela Jr. (recht, im Radiobereich). Beide beherbegen ein „zentrales kompaktes Objekt“, einen Neutronenstern, der mit der Explosionswolke nach der Supernova zurückblieb.

Forschende der dauerhaften unabhängigen @maxplanckgesellschaft Forschungsgruppe „Kontinuierliche Gravitationswellen“ am @mpi_grav in Hannover haben mit dem verteilten Rechenprojekt @einsteinathome nach Gravitationswellen von diesen zentralen kompakten Objekten gesucht.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.09731

Dass sie keine Gravitationswellen gefunden haben, verrät, dass die Neutronensterne nur minimal verformt sein können.
