Scientists observe first supernova explosions across galaxies
In Tucson, Arizona, officials of the National Optical Astronomy Observatories announced that for the first time astronomers witnessed the explosion of massive stars called supernovas. Chilean, Argentine, and U.S. teams recorded the two-week event in 1983, with data interpretation completed recently. Mark M. Phillips of Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory suggested the collapse stemmed from a massive star rapidly shedding its contents.
