Supernovas like Supernova 1987A, seen at center, not only enrich their surroundings with many elements, but also trigger the formation of new stars. This image was captured by Hubble for the supernova’s 30th anniversary: https://bit.ly/4fD6Y9l 🔭 🧪

A group of us decided to sleep outside, we were in the Cedarberg (South Africa). I remember gazing at the night sky, as you do when there are no clouds and no light pollution; looking up and seeing this weird 'star'. It was remarkable.
