Quick Look: NASA's Chandra Finds Unexpected Fireworks in Aftermath of Stellar Explosions (06-15-2026)
The aftermath of a stellar explosion should be a slowly fading cloud of hot gas. So when astronomers pointed NASA's Chandra at the nearby galaxy M83, the last thing they expected to find was a population of supernova remnants appearing to dramatically change in brightness.
