EVSN - Uranus' Odd Tilt Possibly Explained By New Model

From April 6, 2020. Tokyo Institute of Technology researchers have published a model that seems to explain Uranus' bizarre tilt - a collision between a young Uranus and a massive ice world that could have both tipped Uranus over, and also formed its rings and its 27 moons in the process.

Guide To Space - Finally! An Explanation for One of the Most Powerful Supernovae Ever Seen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEZu3pXAFWY [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEZu3pXAFWY] Hosted by Fraser Cain. From Jan 31, 2020. In 2006, astronomers spotted the telltale sign of a supernova detonating in the galaxy NGC 1260, located about 240 million light-years away in the constellation of Perseus. As telescopes around the world turned their collective light-gathering power on the expanding explosion designated as SN 2006gy, they realized they were seeing something very unusual. This clearly wasn't a regular supernova. It grew to be 100 times brighter than the typical stellar explosion and lasted much much longer. More than a decade after that cosmic explosion, astronomers finally think they know what series of events led to the release of this much energy, now called a superluminous supernova. A red giant ate a white dwarf. An event so rare it probably accounts for only 1 in 1,000 supernovae!
