Blast From The Past: Historic Supernovas
2007
Dimensions: 36x10x0"
Every 50 years or so, a star in our
Galaxy blows itself apart in a supernova
explosion, one of the most violent
events in the Universe. The force
of these explosions produces spectacular
light shows. Explosions in
past millennia have been bright enough
to catch the attention of early astronomers
hundreds of years before
the telescope had been invented.
