Researchers Capture Rare ‘Light Echo’ From Star Explosion

When a star bursts (a supernova), it transmits its strong eruption of light in various directions. On exceptional occasions, ‘light echoes’ or rings of light disperse from the initial supernova location in the months and years that follow, as illustrated recently in an article published in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters.
