Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery that provides direct evidence of the process that forms neutron stars and black holes, according to a recent article published in Nature. This significant finding confirms that the collapse of massive stars’ cores gives rise to the densest objects in the Universe. The evidence for this cosmic phenomenon comes from the observation of a nearby supernova explosion in a neighboring galaxy. This supernova displayed unique characteristics that are consistent with the presence of compact objects like neutron stars and black holes. Until now, scientists had been relying on post-explosion observations, such as the existence…
