Brightest supernova ever spotted in deep space.
Astronomers are baffled by a newly discovered cosmic explosion that shines 570 billion times brighter than the sun
Last June, a team of astronomers, armed with a network of telescopes across the globe, spotted an unusually bright object, and upon further investigation, discovered that they had stumbled on the most powerful supernova on record.
What’s more, experts think that they might never see a supernova this bright ever again.
Supernovae are a type of cosmic explosion generated by high-mass stars, usually those which are nearing the end of their lives. The explosion annihilates most of the star as well as anything nearby.
