In Rare Last-Minute Sighting, Star Studied Just 150 Days Before Going SupernovaThis artist’s impression shows dust forming in the environment around a supernova explosion. VLT observations have shown that these cosmic dust factories make their grains in a two-stage process, starting soon after the explosion, but continuing long afterwards.
