What happened
Hawaii's Gemini North telescope captured a picture of Pa 30, a remnant linked to a supernova seen in 1181, revealing strands of small gas clumps. Separately, astronomers studied a star that endured its own blast about 845 years ago and found unusual conditions at its site.
Why it matters
The new observations raise even more questions about the star and its surroundings.
