Astronomers have just discovered a new kind of supernova, this is a very small star explosion in comparison to its big brother the supernova. A supernova occurs when the death of a star occurs, when this happens the star collapses and creates an explosion. This new discovery has been described by lead researcher Ryan Foley, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, he says "It's the runt of the supernova litter."
Supernovas are the most powerful stellar explosions known to science, these anomalies have been studied for a long time now and are an extremely important and highly researched topic in the scientific community. This new discovery of the mini-supernova is the first of its kind to be captured and discovered. This is a major milestone for astronomers and scientists alike.
