Capture the moment when the planet exploded brightly

Scientists have recorded the moment when a supernova exploded, a rare event in the cycle that lasts from thousands to millions of years of a star.

Astronomers tracked a new planet - a sudden burst of brightness - of an unknown star 23,000 light-years away. Thanks to the observation results, scientists have more evidence for theories about the universe.

The supernova explosion from a white dwarf star system called V1213 Cen in the south sky in the constellation Centaurus region. This star can be seen through binoculars. It suddenly glowed and faded in May 2009.

Scientists identified the explosion as Nova Centauri by combining OGLE sky survey data, and an optical experiment called gravitational lensing.

According to Nature, the image of the new planet shows that it is a traditional-type supernova: a white dwarf has lost mass and faded away. Although it has only been observed for a few years, it is an important time for an event to last millions of years.

The more dense super-white dwarfs lose their material, the faster the fusion reaction will take place, when it will explode into a brilliant explosion and then turn off and become less active. Scientists have identified a series of explosions through observation data, before it exploded suddenly.

Seven years later, Nova Centauri was still 50 times brighter than before but now faded away. It will fade gradually over the next centuries and start a new cycle.

There are 5 to 10 such events observed in the galaxy every year, and the new planet gets special attention in the history of science. The cosmology of 450 years ago painted the world imperfectly, the Earth is the center of all creation because we observe that the sky has not changed much.

In 1572, Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe observed a celestial body that he described as De stella nova - a new star, where there was never a star and it was brighter than Venus. It was an initial shot for the rapidly evolving scientific revolution in the following centuries by Galileo and Newton.

Astronomers today think that Tycho has observed a much stronger explosion, and is called a supernova. But at the time, it was difficult for scientists to explain how the supernovae worked and they hypothesized that the interstellar star acted as an explanation.

"Although controversial, it is the best hypothesis we have and no one has proposed better explanations ," said Przemek Mróz at the Warsaw University Observatory in Poland.

"We do not claim that our observations confirm the hypothesis that the suspension star works, instead we are trying to explain it to fit this hypothesis. The important thing is that before 2009, the star really fuzzy and a small, unstable mass drop rate - that's why we observed a series of small explosions from this star ".

The OGLE projects the densest areas of the sky, such as the center of the Milky Way and the Milky Way's disc section. The project also identified 20 extrasolar planets and gave an explanation for a new type of planet, based on the merger of two stars. OGLE surveyed more than one billion stars every night.
