Observing the remains of an astronomical phenomenon dating back 1,800 years

A camera searching for dark energy in the universe has captured what astronomers describe as the ghostly remnants of a supernova, a phenomenon known as a “supernova”, which Chinese scientists first detected 1,800 years ago.

The phenomenon of “supernova” or “supernova” is known as an astronomical event that occurs during the last evolutionary stages of the life of a huge star, where a massive stellar explosion occurs in which the star throws its envelope into space at the end of its life.

This leads to the formation of a spherical cloud around the star, very bright of plasma, and the energy of the explosion quickly spreads in space and turns into invisible objects within weeks or months, while the center of the star collapses on itself towards the center.

The image was taken by the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the Víctor M. Blanco Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, part of the National Science Foundation.

The supernova (SN 185) was first recorded, in 185 BC, as a “guest star” because it was a bright new light that appeared in the night sky.
