Astronomers observe a "superkilonova"

[Barbllm]

When a star explodes or dies, scientists call this a supernova. Now, one star may have left behind two neutron stars, which then collided in what scientists call a "kilonova."

Fun fact: neutron stars are the second densest objects in the universe, just behind black holes. A neutron star may a mass 1.4-2 times that of the sun.

 

Another fun space fact: a teaspoonful of neutron star can weigh 1 billion tons, or as much as all humans on Earth combined. 

 

“Nature is very creative,” Kasliwal says to Scientific American. “When we attempt to unlock its mysteries, we should do so with eyes wide open.”

 I weird that I talk about God today. I told him my God  Jehovah has no beginning and he knows his god do. To add on, I told that James Webb telescope has discovered so many things that we cannot understand and there is energy’s out in space that we do not know about.

when a 2 *black holes* collides it caused a very rare powerful release of energy in the form of gravitational waves,

which are detected, for example, by the LIGO and Virgo observatories, and can sometimes cause flashes of light if they collide with surrounding matter.
