Dr. Tim Young from the University of North Dakota researches supernova events by modeling stars in a computer, and blowing them up. He studied two unique supernova events one displayed a very weak explosion, while the other showed that the event had been a colossal explosion, one never seen before. The latter became known as a HyperNova and recent news since last year is that these HyperNova are associated with Gamma Ray Bursts. |
