Blender Used on the Cover of Nature

Bart ·

Joseph Farah shares how he used Blender to illustrate a new article on supernova ‘chirping’.

Joseph writes:

Hi folks! I have some very exciting news! I was the lead author of a study published in Nature, which is the cover of the March 12 issue! You can see it right now if you go to Nature’s website. We made a very exciting discovery and saw a supernova doing something it had never been seen before–chirping! We tied the chirp back to the birth of one of the most exotic objects in the universe–an infant magnetar–at the heart of the explosion, over one billion light years away.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
