Thunder Force II [a] is a scrolling shooter developed by Technosoft. It was first released in Japan on October 15, 1988 for the X68000 computer. [ 1 ] A year later, it was ported to the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis game console and released in Japan (under the name Thunder Force II MD ), Europe, and the United States.
Simulated collision of two neutron stars. A stellar collision is the coming together of two stars [1] caused by stellar dynamics within a star cluster, or by the orbital decay of a binary star due to stellar mass loss or gravitational radiation, or by other mechanisms not yet well understood.
James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam and MIRI composite image of the Wolf–Rayet star WR 124 and its surrounding nebula. The star's mass loss history is encoded in the structure of the nebula. The lack of spherical symmetry in the nebular structure points to random, asymmetrical ejections. The clumps of dust and gas highlight the star's strong wind.
FreeSpace 2 takes place entirely in outer space.The playing area is vast when compared to the small starfighters piloted by the player and the effective range they have. This space is populated with interstellar bodies such as stars, planets, asteroids, etc. [18] [22] [23] The implementation of nebulae as an interactive environment is one of the most distinctive aspects of FreeSpace
Starflight 2: Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula is a 1989 science fiction video game developed by Binary Systems and published by Electronic Arts as the sequel to the successful Starflight. It features a combination of space exploration , role-playing and strategy within a futuristic setting.
Gravitational collapse of a massive star, resulting in a Type II supernova. Gravitational collapse is the contraction of an astronomical object due to the influence of its own gravity, which tends to draw matter inward toward the center of gravity. [1]
An image of HH 24 taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The image of HH 24 taken by the Hubble Space Telescope is probably the most well known image of this Herbig-Haro object. HH 24 resembles a lightsaber from the science fiction movies Star Wars and the Hubble image was published during the release of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. [6]
The more massive star explodes first, leaving behind a neutron star. If the explosion does not kick the second star away, the binary system survives. The neutron star can now be visible as a radio pulsar, and it slowly loses energy and spins down. Later, the second star can swell up, allowing the neutron star to suck up its matter.
