[00:00:00]What you're seeing here is the explosive death of a star in a faraway galaxy.

[00:00:04]Now, this may seem pretty [music] faint and small and obscure, but believe me, it is extremely powerful. When a high-mass star dies, it first implodes and then explodes, making a rather quiet [music] part of a galaxy very bright and energetic all at once. And the fact that we are seeing this event from our galaxy, tens of millions of light-years away, is astonishing. [music] These events are called supernovae, and they are the most powerful events in the entire universe. [music] More details about this in particular supernova are in the description below, and make sure to give [music] this page a follow for more deep thoughts on the cosmos.

[00:00:41]Think deep, folks.

[00:00:43]See you next time.
