  1. 📸 A Double Detonation Supernova

    Can a supernova explode twice? In SNR 0509-67.5, a white dwarf’s surface ignites first, triggering a second, full Type Ia supernova deep inside.

    This remnant, captured by the Very Large Telescope, shows two shells that support the theory. But no one saw it 400 years ago — and its companion star is missing.
