The nova, which was discovered in 2021, is the fastest classical nova on record. This image shows the difference in brightness over just four days. Advanced Search ...

Scientists have, for the first time, examined a detailed "time lapse" X-ray image of the expansion of a classical nova explosion using the GK Persei nova -- a binary star system which underwent a ...

That rarity makes the team's new observations an important step in understanding the hidden lives of classical novae and what ultimately leads to their explosive behavior. "By studying images from ...

The nova eruption was observed in May 2009 and took place 20,000 light years away Astronomers have captured rare images of a tiny star before, during and after it exploded as a "classical nova".

Figure 1: Long-term light curve of V1213 Cen (Nova Cen 2009). Several images of Nova Cen 2009 were also collected immediately after the eruption, from 13 May to 26 May 2009. Because all these ...

Even though it is 20,000 light-years away – a terribly faint pinprick of light barely visible among brighter stars, even in magnified images – this was a rare opportunity to study the build-up and ...
