Ghost Supernovae Haunt Milky Way: New Telescope Aims to Catch Next Blast
For centuries, astronomers have wondered why our Milky Way galaxy appears silent, with no confirmed supernovae observed since the 1600s, despite expectations of one every 50 years. New observatories like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, combined with neutrino and gravitational wave detectors, are poised to change this, promising to catch the next stellar explosion in our cosmic neighborhood.
