Una enorme explosión cósmica crea elementos raros en el espacio

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:00:03 GMT

(CNN) — El telescopio espacial James Webb y otros observatorios fueron testigos de una explosión enorme en el espacio que creó elementos químicos raros, algunos de los cuales son necesarios para la vida.La explosión, que se produjo el 7 de marzo, fue la segunda explosión de rayos gamma más brillante que ha sido observada por telescopios en más de 50 años de observaciones, más de un millón de veces más brillante que toda la Vía Láctea junta. Las explosiones de rayos gamma son emisiones breves de la forma más energética de la luz.Este estallido en concreto, llamado GRB 230307A, se produjo probablemente cuando dos estrellas de neutrones — los restos increíblemente densos de estrellas tras una supernova — se fusionaron en una galaxia situada a unos 1.000 millones de años luz. Según un estudio publicado este miércoles en la revista Nature, además de liberar el estallido de rayos gamma, la fusión creó una kilonova, una rara explosión que se produce cuando una estrella de neutrones s...

There was even talk of a title chase. Verstappen shut that down by winning 10 races in a row. The Dutch driver now has a record-tyi...
