Strange Cosmic Blast May Be First-Ever Superkilonova Observed

Astronomers may have discovered a never-before-seen cosmic explosion that effectively combines a supernova with a kilonovathe blast that results when two dead, dense stars collide. When massive stars run out of fuel for nuclear fusion, they collapse, triggering a huge explosion called a supernova that blasts light out into space. These cataclysms sometimes leave behind a small dead corea dense object made mostly of neutrons called a neutron star.

Scientists get a rare peek inside of an exploding star

Scientists for the first time have spotted the insides of a dying star as it exploded, offering a rare peek into stellar evolution. Stars can live for millions to trillions of years until they run out of fuel. The most massive ones go out with a bang in an explosion called a supernova. Using telescopes that peer deep into space, researchers have observed many such explosions. The cosmic outbursts tend to jumble up a dying star's layers, making it hard for scientists to observe the inner structure.
