Supernova

Some have speculated that a supernova event was deliberately erased from history for religious reasons. But a hint though slipped through the cracks

Scientists have observed the biggest supernova - stellar explosion - ever detected, the violent death of a huge star up to 100 times more massive than our sun in a faraway galaxy.

NASA has detected a massive thermonuclear explosion in space. The culprit appears to be a distant pulsar, according to the space agency - the remains of a star that exploded into a supernova but was too small to form a black hole.

Scientists unraveled the origin of one of the most mysterious phenomena in the universe, reports Nova TV. It's about fast radio bursts (FRBs), an intense radio wave, which lasts only milliseconds. Up to now, only 24 similar signals have been recorded, and a single one, referred to as FRB 121102, has repeated.

The star N6946-BH1 in a spiral formation 22 million light years away known as the ‘fireworks galaxy’, was last seen by Nasa’s Hubble Telescope in 2009. By 2015, it wasn’t there anymore.

The brilliant flash of an exploding star’s shockwave—what astronomers call the “shock breakout”—has been captured for the first time in the optical wavelength or visible light by NASA‘s planet-hunter, the Kepler space telescope.
