A Double Detonation Supernova
Can some supernovae explode twice? This is a leading hypothesis for the cause of supernova remnant 0509-67.5. In this two-star system, gravity causes a larger star to give up mass to a smaller, denser white dwarf companion. The white dwarf's near-surface temperature goes so high that it explodes, creating a shock wave. This shock wave then triggers a full Type Ia supernova.
