Spacious


The universe is the greatest unknown beauty. Space can only be defined by what we know, which leaves most of the beauty that the galaxy holds to remain unknown

I'm am only one curious man with a love for Astronomy like the next person. I do not take credit for any of the photos posted unless noted as so. Credit is due to the people who have provided these breath taking photos and illustrations for our viewing pleasure. The universe is a wonderful thing.

Antimatter-Powered Supernovae
The largest stars die in explosions more powerful than anyone thought possible—some triggered in part by the production of antimatter

In recent years several supernovae have turned out to be more powerful and long-lasting than any observed before.
Archival images showed that the stars that gave rise to some supernovae were about 100 times as massive as the sun: according to accepted theory, stars this big were not supposed to explode.
Some supernovae may have been ther­mo­nuclear explosions triggered by the creation of pairs of particles of matter and antimatter.
The first generation of stars in the universe, which created the materials that later formed planets, may have exploded through a similar mechanism.
