🪐 Inside the galaxy NGC 4995, astronomers have used its rapidly spinning star clusters to explore time dilation—where time actually passes more slowly the faster you move. According to Einstein’s relativity, this means stars racing around the galaxy’s center age just a tiny bit less than similar stars sitting still, a real effect measured with ultra-precise clocks and confirmed by observations of high-speed cosmic objects. ✨ #timedilation⚡#relativity⚡#NGC4995⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels ​

🪐 In 2023, astronomers observed a rare type of supernova explosion in the galaxy NGC 4995, located about 59 million light-years away. Classified as a Type Iax supernova, this unusual blast is thought to be a "partial" explosion where the white dwarf star survives the event—unlike normal supernovae, which completely destroy their stars—offering new insight into the variety of stellar deaths in the cosmos. ✨ #supernovae⚡#ngc4995⚡#stardeath⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels ​
