These Stellar Explosions Cause Massive Stars to be Born!

RevealFacts on Instagram: "The video shows two stars in a binary system moving closer over time. As they interact, their outer layers mix and their combined mass increases. When the merged star reaches a critical mass, internal conditions change rapidly, leading to a supernova event. This releases energy and spreads stellar material into surrounding space. After this event, the remaining gas and dust expand outward and gradually cool. Over time, this material forms a nebula remnant, which contai

Galaxies on Instagram: "The experiment shown here was carried out on the International Space Station to see how combustion happens in a 0g environment. They used a 50/50 fuel mixture of iso-octane and heptane, tested in a standard air environment (21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen at 1 atm). The results are quite interesting. The only glaringly obvious feature is that the flame looks spherical. The reason for that is simply that it has no reason to look otherwise. On Earth, gravity creates an axis tha
