Astronomers may have found the first example of an unusual exploded star in our Galaxy.
This discovery, made with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, adds to the understanding of how some stars shatter and seed the Universe with elements critical for life on Earth.
This intriguing object lies near the center of the Milky Way in a supernova remnant called Sagittarius A East, or Sgr A East for short.
Based on Chandra data, astronomers have previously classified the object as the remains of a massive star that exploded as a supernova, one of many kinds of exploded stars that scientists have cataloged.
The explosion of white dwarfs in supernovas is one of the most important sources in the Universe of elements like iron, nickel, and chromium.
The only place that scientists know these elements can be created is inside the nuclear furnace of stars or when they explode.
