Supernovas & Supernova Remnants
Now or Then: Explaining Light Travel Time
With the press release for G1.9+0.3 we talked about when an event in a distant part of the Milky Way galaxy occurred. One delicate issue that immediately came to mind was what to do about the light travel time to this object. We decided to adopt the astronomer's convention and talk about events in Earth's time frame, that is when the light reached the Earth, as we noted in the press release and in a few other places on our web-site.
Having A Light Go On: A New Way To Study Supernovas
Dr. Carles Badenes is a Chandra postdoctoral fellow at Princeton, having spent the previous few years at Rutgers University. His main research focus is on supernova explosions and supernova remnants, particularly the class known as Type Ia.

Part II of Just Breathe: A Star's Death Exhales Oxygen Into Space
Dr. Patrick Slane from the Chandra X-ray Center recently shared some information on the G292.0+1.8 supernova remnant with NASA's museum alliance. Part II of this conversation talks more on what we're seeing in the Chandra image....
Chandra Image of G292.0+1.8
The aftermath of the death of a massive star is shown in beautiful detail in this new composite image of G292.0+1.8. In color is the Chandra X-ray Observatory image - easily the deepest X-ray image ever obtained of this supernova remnant - and in white is optical data from the Digitized Sky Survey. Although considered a "textbook" case of a supernova remnant, the intricate structure shown here reveals a few surprises.

Dr. Patrick Slane: G292.0+1.8. It's not an exciting name.
The name of this thing, that G292 means that it's a galactic object, that's what the G stands for.
