Astronomers discover zombie star that survived historic supernova explosion

Astronomers have discovered a "zombie star" that survived a supernova explosion, known as SN 1181. This star, which should have been destroyed, was studied by a team from the Center for Astrophysics, Smithsonian, and Harvard, creating a 3D video of the event. The supernova was first observed in 1181, marking the earliest recorded instance of such an explosion. The zombie star originated in the Pa 30 nebula within our galaxy, and its unique characteristics have intrigued scientists for years. Using data from the Keck Cosmic Web Imager, researchers confirmed the explosion's timing and noted its asymmetrical material distribution. They are now investigating the reasons behind this unusual shape and the surrounding void.
