The discovery of this supernova remnant helps astronomers better understand how often these stellar time-bombs go off in our galaxy. clean 00:01:11 G1.9+0.3 in 60 Seconds About a hundred and forty years ago, the light from a supernova explosion in our galaxy reached the Earth, but no one saw it.

The jet could bring big trouble for any planets in its path, but could also trigger a burst of star formation in its wake. clean 00:01:29 3C321 in 60 Seconds In 3C321, a jet from a black hole in one of the galaxies is pummeling its neighbor galaxy, the first time this type of galactic violence has ever been seen.
