Space X-ray telescope reveals oxygen source
The Chandra X-ray Observatory study of a supernova remnant in the Small Magellanic Cloud shows oxygen makes up about half the expelled gas, with iron and magnesium also produced. MIT researchers say the oxygen from such explosions could supply thousands of solar systems and underpins life on Earth. A nearby discovery notes a relatively small black hole about 1,600 light-years from Earth.
