Astronomers have discovered a "missing link" supernova that directly connects the death of a massive star to the birth of a black hole or a neutron star.
New research helps resolve the mystery surrounding strange long gamma-ray bursts, suggesting these blasts of high-energy radiation emerge from collisions of neutron stars that birth black holes.
The disc is around a young massive star forming in a stellar nursery called N180. It is within the Larg Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that neighbours ours. Scientists caught that difference in speed using telescopes, confirming that it is a disc around a distant star.
