It is possible that a forbidden 'supernova explosion' was recorded on a gold coin made 1000 years ago.

A '

supernova explosion ' in which a large-mass star or white dwarf collapses due to its own gravity and causes a large explosion releases a tremendous amount of energy at once, so depending on the scale, even from the earth tens of thousands of light years away. It can be seen with the naked eye for several days and may be observable even in the daytime. Such supernova explosions are often recorded in history, and research has been published by a multinational research team that gold coins made about 1000 years ago also recorded supernova explosions.

Do ancient coins record the supernova of 1054?

Records of supernova explosions have been found in many countries and regions, such as Japan, China, and Islamic countries, which have been actively observing stars by sculpture since ancient times, but are widely worshiped in Europe. It is said that there is almost no remaining in the Christian literature that was there. One of the reasons is that Christianity thinks that 'the universe created by God is perfect and inviolable', and it was considered an act of apocalypse to point out a big change such as a supernova explosion. The body is explained by Phys.org, a scientific news media.

However, there are records of supernova explosions in places other than the academic community of medieval Europe, which is strongly influenced by Christianity, and the design of money is one of them. The gold coin 'Constantine IX Monomacos IV Gold Coin', which is believed to have been cast between 1054 and 1055 during the reign of Emperor Constantine IX Monomacos of the Byzantine Empire , was dealt with in this paper.

This gold coin has a portrait of Constantine IX Monomacos, with two stars on the left and right of its head. In fact, it is clear from Chinese literature that a supernova explosion occurred in 1054, and it is known that it was a scale that anyone could clearly observe with the naked eye at night at that time. The research team found that the Sun is drawn directly behind the head of Constantine IX Monomacos, one of the two stars drawn on the gold coin is Venus, the dawn star, and the other is this. It claims to indicate a supernova explosion in 1054.

There are 36 Constantine IX Monomacos IV gold coins in the world, and it is said that two stars are drawn on each of them, but the size of one star differs depending on the coin. The researchers point out that this change in star size may reflect the dimming of a supernova explosion.

However, the research team said that it is only a hypothesis that the supernova explosion was adopted in the design of the gold coin because the specific date when the gold coin was cast is unknown and there is no more specific evidence. I am. Phys.org said, 'Romantically, despite the enormous risks of the time, researchers secretly adopted the record of a supernova explosion during coining into their designs, and the intention was finally revealed by researchers 1000 years later. You can certainly appreciate those stories, even if they aren't shown to be true. '
