NASA captures first the explosion of a supernova (Video) – LaCronica.com

The bright flash wave shock lasts only about 20 minutes, so your registration has always been a challenge for astronomers.

The planet hunter NASA’s Kepler space telescope has captured for the first time lengths optic wave or visible light bright flash shockwave, what astronomers call “rupture shock” of a supernova, reports NASA.

An international scientist team led by Peter Garnavich professor of Astrophysics at the University of Notre Dame, in the State of Indiana (USA), broke down the light captured by Kepler every 30 minutes for a three-year period ± os in 500 distant galaxies, looking about 50 billion stars. Scientists trying to find that way signs of stellar explosions known as supernovas.

In 2011 two of these massive stars, called red supergiant, exploded while being observed by Kepler. The bright flash of wave shock lasts only about 20 minutes, reason why its control has always been a challenge for astronomers.
