Norbert Schulz and Nicola Omodei discuss the recent detection of a dying star igniting the most powerful blast ever seen — something so powerful it radiated energy that was 500 million times that of visible light and how scientists have discovered that a familiar sight in the skies is actually our earliest view yet of a star being consumed by the remnant of a nearby exploded star.

The youngest stars in the galactic region surrounding around the Solar Neighborhood are associated with «subgroup B1» of the Pleiades (M 45) stellar moving group, and astronomers hypothesize that the more massive stars born in this group may have already exploded as 20 or so supernovae over the past 10 to 20 million years as the entire group of stars moved through a nearby region of the Local Bubble (Berghoefer and Breitschwerdt, 2002).
