First visual proof of a star destroyed by pair of explosions | ESO
Astronomers have found the first visual evidence that a star has died by detonating twice. Observations taken with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) revealed concentric shells of calcium in the supernova remnant SNR 0509-67.5. These features indicate that the now-dead star exploded with two detonations.
