Astronomers Sink Their Teeth Into Special Supernova – Exploding Stars Produce the Calcium in Our Bones and Teeth – SciTechDaily
Calcium-rich supernovae, a unique type of exploding stars, produce up to half of the calcium in the Universe. Astronomers using several telescopes at NOIRLab, including the Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) Telescope, have obtained critical data on a par…
Artist’s interpretation of the calcium-rich supernova 2019ehk. Shown in orange is the calcium-rich material created in the explosion. Purple coloring represents gas shed by the star right before the explosion, which then produced bright X-ray emission when the material collided with the supernova shockwave. Credit: A. M.
