Sibling Supernova Remnants
What happens when one of the stars in a binary goes supernova? This image combines visible (yellow), ultraviolet (purple) and infrared light (cyan, red and orange) to show two supernova remnants and their surrounding environment, about 6,000 light-years away. The younger one is the well-known Jellyfish Nebula in the center (mostly in yellow). If we could see it by eye, it would appear larger than the full moon in the sky. The filament shown in purple is part of an older, overlapping supernova remnant, G189.6+3.3. A new study used data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope to piece together their story. Astronomers believe that there were two stars in a binary system, then the first one exploded as a supernova, kicking away its companion, which also exploded as a supernova tens of thousands of years later, creating the superimposed supernova remnants we see today. The bright star on the right is actually a triple star system named Propus.

What’s Up: July 2026 Skywatching Tips from NASA
Jul 01, 2026
A predawn Moon-and-planets meetup, a returning comet, a great chance to see the Milky Way, and Saturn's rings at a new angle.
Skywatching Highlights
July 7: Last Quarter Moon
July 11 + 12: Dawn alignment of the Moon, Mars, Saturn, and Uranus
July 14: New Moon; best dark-sky window for Comet 10P/Tempel 2 and the Milky Way
Later in July: Saturn's unusually thin rings are a rewarding telescope target
July 21: First Quarter Moon
July 29: Full Moon
Transcript
An early morning hangout with the Moon and planets, a comet swings by, prime time for the Milky Way, and Saturn's rings shine at a new angle. That's What's Up for July.
Before sunrise on July 11 and 12, look toward the eastern sky for a lineup of the Moon and planets. On these mornings, the waning crescent Moon helps point the way to Mars, with Saturn shining nearby in the morning sky.
Uranus is in the same general part of the sky, too, but it is much fainter, so you will need binoculars or a telescope to see it.
Mars will look like a small reddish point of light, Saturn is brighter and easier to spot, and the Moon makes the whole scene easy to locate.
Around the New Moon on July 14, Comet 10P/Tempel 2 swings by.
This is a short-period comet, meaning it returns to the inner solar system on a regular orbit. In this case, it comes back about every 5½ years. It is not a dramatic comet that you see just by looking up at the sky, though.
Through binoculars or a telescope, find the constellation Capricornus and look for a small fuzzy glow nearby, possibly with a brighter central knot and a short, broad, fan-shaped tail.
For the best chance to view the comet, head somewhere dark, away from city lights. Start looking once the sky is fully dark, ideally about 45 to 60 minutes after sunset.
Those same dark nights around the July 14 New Moon are also the best time this month to look for the Milky Way.
From a dark location, away from city lights, the Milky Way appears as a pale, cloudy band across the summer sky. The bright, cloudy region of the Milky Way marks the direction of the galactic center.
It looks so dense because we're looking toward one of the most crowded parts of our galaxy, where countless stars glow behind dark clouds of cosmic dust.
Late in the evening, look low in the southern sky for a group of stars shaped like a big hook or scorpion tail. That's Scorpius. The bright, cloudy part of the Milky Way is nearby, close to another group of stars called Sagittarius.
For the best chance to see the Milky Way, go somewhere dark, give your eyes time to adjust, and try not to look at your phone.
Later in July, Saturn is a rewarding target for telescope users.
Saturn's rings are still tilted at a very shallow angle from our point of view, making them look unusually thin. The rings aren't disappearing, but how they appear from Earth is changing.
It's a great reminder that our view of the solar system is always in motion.
