Giant exploding star discovered by Caltech scientist
Pasadena, California August 1 reports Dr. Joseph J Johnson of the California Institute of Technology has discovered a new supernova. The star, between the North Star and the Dipper, emits light equivalent to hundreds of suns in a single ball. Observations were made from Palomar Mountain using Caltech’s 200 inch and 18 inch Schmidt telescope. The find, photographed in an early explosive stage, may help trace stages of stellar outbursts and inform theories on distant world creation and destruction.
