Astronomers discover two new supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud, providing insights into stellar explosions and their role in shaping galaxy evolution.

The best view modern astronomers have ever had of a supernova was in 1987 when a massive star exploded in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a dwarf galaxy that orbits our Milky Way galaxy.
