Did a Cannonball create Sgr A East?

How was the closest supernova remnant to the galactic core created? Sgr A East is young, mysterious and could even tells the story of its origin. Perhaps we've already observed the stellar corpse left behind by the explosion which created the remnant.

DIY Building Massive Black Holes

Your backyard-style black hole is easily made from a fairly massive star. But how do you get a really massive black hole, maybe even a supermassive one?

The Great Planet Bake Off

In today's episode, the star's have been preparing some planets. But have they all been using the same recipe to form them? We will have to "taste" their compositions to find our winner!
