Novae Unveiled: New Images Rewrite Stellar Explosion Theory
High-resolution images captured by the CHARA Array reveal that novae are complex, multi-stage stellar explosions, challenging previous assumptions of simple blasts. These observations show colliding gas streams and delayed eruptions, generating shock waves that produce intense gamma rays and providing visual confirmation of existing theories. This discovery impacts astrophysics by redefining our understanding of stellar evolution and explosive phenomena in the cosmos.
