Astronomers Mapped The Spectacular Accelerating Outflows of a Stellar Explosion – ScienceAlert

Material accelerating away from the site of a stellar explosion has been discovered in a star-forming cloud.
It’s only the second time molecular outflows of this kind have ever been clearly seen, but it could help astronomers understand how the most massive stars get their start in life.
In the 1980s, astronomers discovered something peculiar in the star-forming Orion nebula: streamers of dense molecular gas, travelling at speed through space. When these streamers were mapped, they seemed to originate…
