Message from the researcher
Every second somewhere in the Universe a star dies as a supernova. If we can statistically understand the nature of each of those explosions, it will allow us to unlock mysteries about the formation of planets and evolution of life.
adamamillerAbout Zwicky Chemical Factory
Every year astronomers discover thousands of new supernovae (exploding stars). Once these spectacular events are found, we use spectroscopy to understand the chemical elements in the explosion and what type of star exploded. Help us classify these explosions!
