🚨 A star just exploded and Hubble caught it happening in real time. This rare cosmic event marks the violent end of a massive star’s life a supernova, one of the most powerful explosions in the universe. For a brief moment, it shines brighter than entire galaxies. Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, the blast glows with intense light and expanding waves of stellar material. It’s not just beautiful it’s science in motion. These explosions forge heavy elements like iron and gold, seeding the

Supernova supernova is a powerful and luminous stellar explosion. This transient astronomical event occurs during the last evolutionary stages of a massive star or when a white dwarf is triggered into runaway nuclear fusion. The original object, called theprogenitor, either collapses to a neutron staror black hole, or is completely destroyed. The peak optical luminosity of a supernova can be comparable to that of an entire galaxy before fading over several weeks or months. | Free AstroScience
