- For the first time, scientists have observed a red giant star transition into a supernova. Astronomers have imaged in real time the dramatic end to a red supergiant’s life, watching the massive star’s rapid self-destruction and final death throes before it collapsed into a Type II supernova. https://keckobservatory.org/dying-star 4 comments science
- Monster black hole found in the early universe. Astronomers have discovered the second-most distant quasar ever found. The light seen from Poniua'ena traveled through space for over 13 billion years since leaving the quasar just 700 million years after the Big Bang. http://www.keckobservatory.org/poniuaena 3 comments science
