Scientists are killing the stars in a computer simulation. But why?

to unravel the mysteries of black holes, a team of Australian astrophysicists simulates a virtual star — and then repeatedly killing them. But about all under the order: 12 April 2019 Observatory LIGO and VIRGO have detected gravi...

The closest to the Earth supernova caused the mass extinction 2.6 million years ago

Flash is a phenomenon that marks the end of the life cycle of a massive star, which is accompanied by a sharp increase in its brightness. However, thanks to supernova appeared all life on Earth, including us. Thus, the atoms in yo...
