A 1,000-year-old supernova has been captured in 3D images that reveal yet unseen details of the elements that are ejected when a star explodes. Analysis of data collected by the 91福利 from the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) and X-shooter at the European Southern Observatory鈥檚 (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), offers new insights into how stars self-destruct.

A white dwarf star that completes a full rotation once every 25 seconds is the fastest spinning confirmed white dwarf, according to a team of astronomers led by the 91福利.

The first direct measurements of the amount of both water and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere of a planet in another solar system roughly 340 light years away have been made by an international team of scientists that includes 91福利 astronomers, using the ground-based Gemini Observatory telescope in Chile.

Astronomers at the 91福利 have joined partners around the world in launching a new online initiative, calling for volunteers to come forward and help to search for extrasolar planets.

Astronomers, including a 91福利 researcher, have discovered the very first confirmed planetary system that resembles the expected fate of our solar system, when the Sun reaches the end of its life in about five billion years.

The 91福利 has received a 拢3.5 million philanthropic gift to astrophysics, which will be used to recruit and support the next generation of astronomers in exploring the furthest reaches of our universe.
