Nova Cygni 1992
In 1992, a dramatic explosion occurred in the constellation Cygnus, known as Nova Cygni 1992. This event likely happened in a binary system where a white dwarf star accumulated too much gas from its companion. The resulting nuclear fusion created an expanding shell of material, photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope.
