Recently, a group of scientists from the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM) of the Universidad de Chile were able see the explosion of 61 supernovas in real time, just hours after they appeared in space.
The visualization was made from the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), which is part of the U.S. National Optical Astronomy Observatory, in northern Chile, and the data was sent through REUNA’s network to Santiago, for computational analysis.
