Radio Signatures of Supernova Remnants
Quick fact
Supernova remnants are some of the brightest radio sources in the sky, and their radio emission is often 10,000 times stronger than their optical emission, making radio telescopes essential for discovering new remnants.
Why this is interesting
You've seen pictures of exploding stars, but what if I told you that most of what we know about these explosions comes not from visible light but from radio waves?
