In an Astronomical First, Scientists Capture 3-D View of Exploding Star | Popular Science

Quote:
Stellar scientists were able to measure the trajectory of Supernova 1987a’s ejecta, and found it spewed from the star at 62 million miles an hour.
Quote:
Astronomers used the new SINFONI instrument on the VLT, a special near-infrared spectrograph that affords a stunning level of detail.


Hope they capture more views of stars exploding and other mystery's out in space.
