- Deep in the universe, scientists have seen an unprecedented explosion. It is a supernova, the explosion of a dying star. This supernova is,, 570 billion times as bright as the sun, '',, twenty times as bright as the 100 billion stars in our Milky Way '' and,, two hundred times stronger than a normal supernova. ''

         It is the first time that such a big star explosion seen. Our sun would be more than 90 billion years need to emit so much energy, scientists say. The supernova is at 3.8 billion light-years away and is not visible to the naked eye.
The researchers announced Thursday the perception in the major science journal Science. They do not know what star might cause such a bang, and how it should have gone. It may be that the dead star was greater than previously thought possible.
In the heart of the state explosion may be a so-called magnetar. That is a rare star, extremely magnetic remnant of an exploded star. He is very small, in this case only 15 kilometers in diameter. To be as bright as the supernovae, he has a thousand times per second around its axis. Even for an extreme phenomenon is that extreme.
The supernova in June for the first time seen by a telescope in Chile. Then there were also other telescopes directed at the light. Later this year, the Space Telescope takes the supernova examined.
