📡✨ A ghostly bubble glowing faintly in the radio sky has just been confirmed as one of the dimmest supernova remnants ever detected. 🌌 An international team led by Christopher Burger-Scheidlin (Dunsink Observatory, Ireland) used the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) to confirm the SNR status of G310.7–5.4, now named Abeona after the Roman goddess of outward journeys. 💫 Located 16,000 light-years away and 1,500 light-years below the Galactic plane, this 137-light-year-wide bilateral shell shines at a surface brightness of just 24,000 Jy/sr — barely above the detection threshold — yet it overlaps a gamma-ray source, hinting at active particle acceleration to relativistic energies. 🔬 Its escape from the Galactic disk into the halo makes it a pristine laboratory for cosmic-ray physics. 👇 Read the full story on SKYCR.
