Star Wars in NGC 664 Credit:
Two stars exploded in a galaxy far away, in a final struggle against gravity. Supernovae are among the most powerful events in the universe, releasing an energy equivalent to a million trillion trillion megatons of TNT. After the explosion, the expanding supernova envelope brightens over days to a peak light output that rivals an entire galaxy.
