Historical Supernovae and the Future of X-ray Astronomy

Join Dr. Brian Williams, a research astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, for a general overview of some of the science of supernova remnants, showing many beautiful examples from telescopes such as Hubble, Chandra, Spitzer, and the Very Large Array. He also provides an overview of an exciting new mission: the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission, or XRISM. This was recorded on March 9, 2023.

We’re launching STEM Engagement to new heights with learning resources that connect teachers, students, parents and caregivers to the inspiring work at NASA. Join us as we apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics to explore space, improve aeronautics, examine Earth and strive to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon with the Artemis program.
