Evidence has just been found which helps to confirm our understanding of how stars come to an end of their lifecycles by astronomers at Cardiff University in Cardiff, Wales.
The scientists claim they've found evidence of a neutron star which was left behind once a massive star ended its life in a gigantic explosion which led to the formation of Supernova 1987A.
Astronomers have unsuccessfully been trying for over 30 years to locate the neutron star, but it has been hidden behind a very thick cloud of cosmic dust.
