But there’s a catch - the shape of the explosion was not what we expected. In this video, we investigate the inner workings of the blast to find out what’s really going on inside. ▀▀▀▀▀▀ 0:00 We Saw a Supernova 5:09 Type II Supernovae 7:56 Collapse 8:44 Shockwave 9:42 Explosion 11:40 Polarisation Patterns 14:14 Neutrinos 15:36 Jets 16:57 SN 2024ggi 20:15 Catching More Supernovae ▀▀▀▀▀▀ To stay on top of space news, sign up to the Astrum newsletter: https://astrumspace.kit.com Astrum Displate Posters: https://displate.com/artist/astrumspace?art=5f04759ac338b Astrum Merch: https://astrum-shop.fourthwall.com/ Join us on the Astrum discord: https://discord.gg/TKw8Hpvtv8 A huge thanks to our Patreons who help make these videos possible.
