Hamburger September 1, 2023 08:01 AM Share news The study of supernova remnants is important for astronomy studies. Because they play a huge role in the evolution of galaxies or galaxies. The distribution of heavy elements generated by supernova explosions provides the energy needed to heat the interstellar medium. Supernova remnants known as Galactic supernova remnants, or SNRs, are believed to contribute to the acceleration of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. That is described as extremely high-energy radiation, mostly originating outside the solar system. Its particles are accelerated to near the speed of light. by hitting the Earth’s atmospheric class in all directions over the last time International team of astronomers Led by astronomers from the University of Western Sydney in Australia, they report the discovery of a new SNR supernova remnant near the Milky Way. Using the antenna of the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope in the outback of Australia. The newly discovered SNR supernova remnant, regarding 13,000 years old, has been named Galactic SNR G288.8-6.3. The team revealed that SNR G288.8-6.3 is approximately 130 light-years away from Earth in its true size. About 4,200 light-years away, it is one of the largest and closest supernova remnants to the Milky Way. big and may explain the synchrotron emission. Or light emitted by electrons that bend near the speed of light.Credit : NASA/JPL-Caltech/SAO divmargin:0 -15px;@media (max-width:767.98px).css -x9zhmpwidth:100vw;max-width:inherit;margin:30px -15px;]]>
