Supernova shook Earth's atmosphere
On November 14, 2023, a record-breaking astronomical explosion occurred in deep space. The explosion was so powerful that it caused Earth's atmosphere to shake.
The explosion occurred in NGC 315, a globular galaxy located about 100 million light-years from Earth. The explosion was a supernova, a type of stellar explosion that occurs when the core of a massive star collapses.
Astronomers estimate that the NGC 315 supernova was 100 billion times the power of the Hiroshima bomb. That was enough to send powerful shock waves through space.
When the shock waves reached Earth's atmosphere, they caused it to shake. The shaking was very small, but it could be measured using seismometers.
This explosion was the first astronomical explosion ever recorded to shake Earth's atmosphere. It suggests that astronomical explosions can have a significant impact on Earth, even if they occur in the depths of space.
Effects of the explosion on Earth
The supernove explosion had minor effects on Earth. The shaking it caused was too small for humans to feel.
However, astronomical explosions could have more serious effects in the future. If a nearby astronomical explosion occurred, it could cause extensive damage to satellites and infrastructure.
Importance of studying astronomical explosions
It is important to study astronomical explosions to understand their effects on Earth. These studies can help develop mitigation measures to reduce the potential damage from nearby astronomical explosions.
In addition, studying astronomical explosions can help us understand the life cycle of stars. This information can provide new insights into how stars form and evolve.
