Betelgeuse and the Crab Nebula Reveal Stellar Death and Rebirth in Multi-Telescope Views
Betelgeuse’s unusual dimming and the Crab Nebula’s remnants offer insight into stellar death and rebirth. Composite images from multiple telescopes show gas filaments and a neutron star, illustrating how massive stars explode, enrich space with heavy elements, and seed future star formation. These observations help scientists trace stellar life...

Crab Nebula’s Strange Zebra Pattern Pulsars Could Be Due to Its Unusual Plasma Density
The Crab Nebula, home to the Crab Pulsar, has long fascinated astronomers due to its unique zebra-like radiation pattern. This strange emission, which has puzzled researchers since its discovery in 2007, is now explained by new research. A team led by Mikhail Medvedev, a physicist at the University of Kansas, uncovered that the unusual pattern is c...

New Research Explains Zebra Pattern in Radio Waves from Crab Nebula
A new model by Mikhail Medvedev from the University of Kansas offers an explanation for the zebra-like pattern in high-frequency radio waves emitted by the Crab Pulsar. The pattern, first discovered in 2007, is likely caused by diffraction and interference of waves in the pulsar's plasma-rich environment. Medvedev’s model could also provide a met...
