Supernovas have been captured before. But the singular moment right before the star dies has never been seen before the way it has now.
The images give us a glimpse of the famous remnant of the supernova Cassiopeia A that exploded in the 17th century, 11 000 light-years away from Earth.
Just like in the film ‘Don’t Look Up’, a doctoral student made an unusual discovery while using a high-powered telescope.
It may have scored rave reviews thus far, but ‘Supernova’ will not be a laugh a minute lighthearted rom-com.
