Virmy finds remains of two sibling supernovae
The "Fermi" mission, operated by NASA, revealed evidence of two supernovae connected in a binary system, where one star exploded thousands of years ago, followed by its counterpart exploding later, possibly tens of thousands of years apart. The distance between the remnants and the system is estimated to be about 6,000 light-years, and the findings suggest that the two explosions occurred during successive stages in the life cycle of massive stars.
