This ai n’t your standard supernova . A while ago , astronomers noticed an exploding star that was about 50 to 100 times burnished than normal . Here ’s why : It was freakin ’ huge .
After two years of take loose output from the whizz ’s death , one scientist is aim that this star might have been the biggest ever known . About 200 times bigger than a standard solar mass .
And when vast stars explode , it postulate some really cool words . fit out this description :
But in the case of an exceedingly monumental star topology , while its substance is still made of oxygen , it release photon that are so gumptious , they create pairs of negatron and their anti - matter opposites , positrons . When the topic and antimatter meet , they annihilate each other .
electron and positron ? topic and anti - issue ? All combat to eradicate each other and create what may be the biggest nuclear explosion EVER ? Man that sound awesome .
I hope I get an FPS - style killcam view of the universe when I die , just so I can see stuff like this go down . [ Space.comviaGearlog ]
