The star that in theory should not exist

Supernova i PTF14hls, which was found in September 2014, for astronomers of the Observatory “Las Cumbres” in California had initially acted mostly in a normal way.

They had observed the star to study the material and speed of this process. However, scientist Yang Chuen Wong soon observed something unusual.

Although the massive explosion of the star usually represents its end, its remains continue to emit light, says the report published in Nature magazine.

Data analysis in the archive shows the same star that exploded in 1954, broadcasts Kosovas.

This means that there is still much to be learned about the evolution of mass stars and the way they explode, scientists say.

Supernova i PTF14hls is 50 times more massive than the sun.
