ASASSN-15lh is a supernova detected on 14 June 2015.
It is the most luminous supernova ever detected.
At its brightest it was 50 times brighter than the whole Milky Way.
"The exploding star was first observed back in June last year but is still radiating vast amounts of energy.
At its peak, the event was 200 times more powerful than a typical supernova, making it shine with 570 billion times the brightness of our Sun.
Researchers think the explosion and ongoing activity have been boosted by a very dense, highly magnetised, remnant object called a magnetar.
This object, created as the supernova got going, is probably no bigger than a major city, such as London, and is likely spinning at a fantastic rate - perhaps a thousand times a second".
The supernova is some 3.8 billion light-years from Earth.
It was found by the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN).

Alaric I, also Alaricus, (reigned 394–410 AD) was a leader of the Visigoths.
He is famous as the Gothic leader who sacked the city of Rome in 410 AD.
Very little about his family is known.
As a young man he received much of his military training in the Roman army.
He next appears as a war leader of Gothic forces fighting along with Roman troops at the Battle of the Frigidus in 394.
In January 395 the emperor Theodosius I died dividing his empire between his two sons.
Alaric revolted and as the leader of the Visigoths he attacked parts of the Eastern Roman Empire.
He later attacked the Western Roman Empire.
In 408 he attempted to attack Rome but was bribed to leave.
He returned two years later, defeated and occupied the city.
He died in 411.
Alaric was born on an island on the delta of the Danube River.
He was a member of the noble Balti dynasty of Visigoths.
He was first mentioned in 394 AD as a commander under the Roman Emperor Theodosius I in his war against Eugenius.
He became the leader or king of the Visigoths in the mid 390s.
Alaric rebelled against Emperor Arcadius in 395 and invaded Greece.
When he came to the walls of Athens, the city paid a heavy ransom so he left them unharmed.
He then defeated Corinth, Argos and Sparta.
He continued to lay waste to Greece until 397 when the Roman general Stilicho surrounded Alaric's army at Arcadia.
They cut off the water to the Gothic camp and thought it was impossible for Alarc to escape.
But Alaric broke through their lines and marched  to the north over very difficult terrain.
Alaric then made a treaty with Arcadius.
Stilicho returned to Italy without having defeated Alaric.
In 401-402 AD Alaric entered Italy.
He tried the same tactics he used earlier but was unsuccessful against the Roman army.
At the Battle of Pollentia in 402, the Roman army defeated the goths.
Alaric's wife was one of those captured by the Romans.
However, the Visigoth losses were very few and Alaric's army left in good order.
Alaric crossed the Po River intending on attacking Rome but was met and defeated again by Stilicho at the Battle of Verona.
Alaric's army attacked across the Danube and Rhine Rivers again in 405 and 406 AD.
Stilicho, who was now ruling in the name of the Emperor Honorius, made a treaty with Alaric.
But Stilicho was killed in 408.
Alaric invaded Italy again and demanded Stilicho's promises to him be kept.
From late 408 AD, the Visigoth army camped outside Rome.
Alaric demanded payment from Honorius, who was safe in Ravenna, which the emperor refused to pay.
On August 24, 410 AD, Rome's city gates were opened by slaves.
Alaric's Visigoths began three days of murdering and plundering.
They damaged buildings and stole from tombs of former emperors.
It was the first time in 800 years that Rome was sacked.
But the Visigoths continued their destruction further south in Italy.
The casualties were high on both sides.
The Romans lost an estimated 15,000 men while the Visigoths lost about 17,000.
Alaric planned to move his army into Sicily and then on to Africa.
But he died soon after Rome fell in 410 AD.
Ataulf succeeded Alaric as king and took the army into Gaul.

The PDSA Dickin Medal is an award for animals.
It was created in the United Kingdom, by Maria Dickin, in 1943.
At first, the award's goal was to honor the work of animals during World War II.
The award is often called "the animals' Victoria Cross."
Maria Dickin was the creator of the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA), a British veterinary charity.
She created the award for any animal who showed "conspicuous gallantry [obvious bravery]" and devotion to its job while serving with the United Kingdom's armed forces or their allies.
The Medal was awarded 54 times between 1943 and 1949 – to 32 pigeons, 18 dogs, three horses, and one cat.
The PDSA started awarding the Dickin Medal again in 2000.
In that year, they honored a Newfoundland dog named Gander.
The award was given posthumously - after Gander's death.
During the Battle of Hong Kong in World War II, Gander had saved the lives of Canadian soldiers.
In early 2002, three dogs were awarded the Dickin Medal for their work in responding to the September 11 attacks.
The PDSA also awarded the Medal to two dogs serving with the British military in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iraq.
In December 2007, 12 animals who had received the Dickin Medal and were buried at the PDSA Animal Cemetery in Ilford, Essex, were given full military honors.
This marked the end of a project to restore the cemetery, which was aided by the United Kingdom's National Lottery.
The first recipients of the Medal, in December 1943, were three pigeons.
Serving with the Royal Air Force, all three helped make it possible to rescue air crew from ditched planes during the Second World War.
The most recent animal to receive the Medal was Diesel, a dog who was killed while serving with the French police during the November 2015 Paris attacks.
Diesel's award will be presented in a ceremony in 2016.
As of December 2015, the Dickin Medal has been awarded 66 times.

Throughout history, homing pigeons have been used to carry messages over long distances.
Homing pigeons can find their way home over very long distances.
Because of this special ability, homing pigeons have often been used in wars to carry messages.
For example, air force flyers could carry homing pigeons in their planes.
If a plane started to crash, the airmen could throw the pigeon out of the plane with a message attached to its leg saying where the plane was crashing.
The pigeon would find its way back "home" - to a military base - where the message would tell the military where to look for their stranded pilots.
The United Kingdom used about 250,000 homing pigeons in World War II.
Of these, 32 were awarded the Dickin Medal for carrying messages that helped save lives:
Horses have been used in wars for over 5,000 years.
By World War II, they were usually not used in battle.
However, they were used for scout units, and also to carry soldiers and supplies.

Musa is one of two or three genera in the family Musaceae; it includes bananas and plantains.
Around 70 species of Musa are known, with a broad variety of uses.
Many bananas and plantains grow as high as trees, but they are not woody.
Their apparent "stem" is made up of the bases of the huge leaf stalks.
For this reason, they are technically gigantic herbs.
Musa species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including the giant leopard moth and other Hypercompe species, including H. albescens (only recorded on Musa), H. eridanus, and H. icasia.
Breakwaters are structures built to protect structures along a coastline against the impact of waves.

Lycra is a type of synthetic fabric that is very elastic.
It is also called Spandex or elastane.
Lycra was invented in 1958 , United States.
It was invented by Joseph Shivers, a chemist.
It is made from a combination of polyester and polyurethane.
Because of its elasticity and strength, lycra is often used to make clothing.
It is commonly mixed with cotton to make things like tights, bras,Lycra shirt,Dr199 and underwear.
Lycra is especially common in sports clothing, such as wrestling singlets.
It is also often used to make swimsuits and wetsuits, because lycra dries more quickly than many other fabrics.
Aside from the varied manufacturing processes that can be used to make this fabric, there are no distinct differences between Lycra, elastane, and spandex.
It is, however, important to know more about each term:
Lycra: As a registered trademark of the DuPont corporation, the "Lycra" brand is one of the most reliable and high-quality forms of elastane fabric on the market.
However, elastane that has been branded as Lycra can sometimes cost more than other types of spandex
Elastane: The term "elastane" is most commonly used in Europe, and each continental European language has a slightly different version of this word.
Elastane is the most technically correct term used to describe these polyether-polyurea copolymer fabrics.
Spandex: Despite the persistence of a common misconception, spandex is not a registered trademark of any company.
Instead, it is the term that DuPont originally used to describe their polyurethane fabric during the development process. "
Spandex" is an anagram of "expands," and the attractive simplicity of this name has made it the preferred term for referring to elastane products in the United States and elsewhere.
Lycra is a trademark of DuPont, and it is only made by this international corporation.
DuPont has manufacturing locations in more than 90 countries, which means that this fabric could be made in any number of areas around the world.
Overall, the international spandex industry has shifted eastward in the last few decades as China has risen to the fore as the dominant manufacturing power in the world.
DuPont has a number of factories in China, and many other companies also manufacture spandex in this country.
The future of Lycra fabric production around the world looks bright.
A ReportBuyer report from 2018 indicates that this fabric will continue to be made in greater and greater quantities until at least 2023, and all signs indicate that this production boom will continue far past this projected date.
The production of Lycra is not considered to be inherently detrimental to the environment.
While it's true that the production of elastane fabrics requires high levels of energy and the use of a variety of toxic chemicals, unlike fabrics like nylon, the raw ingredients for Lycra are not derived from non-renewable resources like petroleum oil.
Instead, these ingredients are fully synthesized in laboratory settings, and DuPont is one of the world's leaders in sustainable and safe elastane manufacturing processes.
There's no getting around the fact that the production of Lycra involves carcinogenic chemicals, but scientific research has indicated that elastane factory workers in Sweden exhibit negligibly greater cancer risk, which seems to indicate that workplaces in which this material is made are not very hazardous.
No studies have been done, however, to examine the impact of elastane production on workers in other countries.

Thomas Newcomen (February 1664 – 5 August 1729) was an English inventor.
He made the first practical steam engine for pumping water, the Newcomen steam engine.
Newcomen was an ironmonger and a Baptist lay preacher.
He was born in Dartmouth, Devon, England, to a merchant family and baptised at St. Saviour's Church on 24 February 1664.
Flooding in coal and tin mines was a large problem.
Newcomen was trying to improve ways to pump out the water from the mines.
His ironmonger's business specialised in tools for the mining industry.
His first engine was not very efficient, and used a lot of coal.
The Watt steam engine, was much more fuel efficient.
Watt and his partner Matthew Boulton got substantial royalties because their machines saved so much on fuel bills.
Surviving Newcomen engines
Perhaps the last Newcomen-style engine to be used commercially – and the last still on its original site – is at the Elsecar Heritage Centre, near Barnsley in South Yorkshire.
Newcomen engines that can be seen working are the Newcomen Memorial Engine at Dartmouth and the replica engine at the Black Country Museum in Dudley, West Midlands.
It is used especially in the animal kingdom.

Chinese names () are names for people in Chinese languages.
They are mostly used by Chinese people, but some Korean people and Vietnamese people also use forms of Chinese names.
Modern Chinese names are made up of a surname and a personal name.
The surname (xìng ) appears first.
It is usually only one syllable.
The personal name (míng ) appears second.
It is nearly always either one or two syllables.
When written, each syllable is written with one character.
So a person's name will usually be written with two or three characters.
For example, Wei () of the Zhang () family – currently China's most common single name – is called "Zhang Wei" and written as .
Before the 20th century, educated Chinese people also used a "courtesy name" or "style name" (zì ).
This is the name by which they were known among those outside of their family and friends.

Its headquarters and hub are at Lisbon Portela Airport.
TAP operates about 2,000 flights a week to 88 destinations in 38 countries worldwide.
TAP Portugal was founded on March 14, 1945.
It began flying on September 19, 1945.
It's first flight was from Lisbon to Madrid.
The one-millionth passenger flew on TAP on 19 June 1964, 18 years after the airline began operations.
In 1969, TAP began flying New York City.
Boston was added to the New York service in 1970.
TAP bought Boeing 747 airplanes during the 1970s.
In 1975, TAP was nationalised, becoming a state-owned corporation (Empresa Pública) and changing its name to TAP Air Portugal in March 1979.
TAP became a member of Star Alliance in 2005.
XTRA Airways is a charter airline from the United States.
It began in 1987.
It was first known as "Casino Express Airlines".
In 2005, it was renamed "XTRA Airways".
The airline's headquarters are in Coral Gables, Florida.
As of 2016, XTRA has 9 airplanes.
The original complex has 2,000,000 square feet (190,000 m2) of office space.
It is the company's second largest building.
The Bay View addition to the building was added in 2015.
This made it part of the biggest collection of Google buildings.
It has 3,100,000 square feet (290,000 m2) of space.
Facilities and history
Original campus
SGI Campus
The place was owned by Silicon Graphics in the past.
The office space and corporate campus is in a bigger 26-acre (110,000 m2) site.
The place also includes Charleston Park and better connection to Permanente Creek, as well as roads that connect to Shoreline Park and the Bay Trail.
The project was started in 1994.
It was built on the site of one of the working farms in the area.
The city owned it at the time.
Google got the facilities in early 2003.
Clive Wilkinson Architects redesigned the inside in 2005.
Google bought some of Silicon Graphics' properties in June 2006 for $319 million.
The buildings are not tall, but the complex covers a large area of land.
The inside of the headquarters has items like shade lamps and giant rubber balls for decoration.
The lobby has a piano and a projection of current live Google searches.
There are also facilities like free laundry rooms, two small swimming pools, volleyball courts, and eighteen cafeterias with different menus.
Google has also put in models of SpaceShipOne and a dinosaur skeleton.
Since 2007 the place has a set of solar panels covering the roofs of eight buildings and two solar carports.
These can produce 1.6 megawatts of electricity.
30% of the peak electricity demand comes from the panels in their solar-powered buildings.
Bay view addition
In 2013 construction started on a new 1.1 million square foot headquarters campus called "Bay View".
This was next to the original campus on  leased from NASA.
The estimated cost of the project is $120 million with a target opening date of 2015.
NBBJ is the architect of the addition.
This is also the first time Google has designed its own buildings.
The addition is close to northeast corner of the complex.
Google tried to get permission from the city to build bridges over Stevens Creek before announcing its construction.
Google's 2012 year-end annual report says that it can expand only  of the  site.
The Googleplex was featured in the 2013 film The Internship, with the Georgia Tech campus standing in as a double.
It was also the inspiration for the fictional Hooli headquarters in the HBO TV series Silicon Valley.
Rudolf Franz Ferdinand Höss (also Höß, Hoeß, or Hoess; 25 November 1901 – 16 April 1947) was a high-ranking member of the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) during World War II.
He was in charge of Auschwitz concentration camp for about four years.
During World War II, Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, decided to exterminate (kill all of) the Jewish people in Europe.
They called this plan the "Final Solution".
The Nazis also sent many other people to concentration camps and extermination camps (death camps).
As Commandant (commander) at Auschwitz, Höss tested and started using different ways of killing these people more quickly.
He started using Zyklon B, a pesticide with hydrogen cyanide in it, to kill prisoners in gas chambers.
This allowed Nazi soldiers at Auschwitz to murder 2,000 people every hour.
At Auschwitz, he created the largest place meant for the constant mass murder of human beings ever known in history.
Höss joined the Nazi Party in 1922, and joined the SS in 1934.
From 4 May 1940 to November 1943, and again from 8 May 1944 to 18 January 1945, he was in charge of Auschwitz.
Before Nazi Germany lost World War II, more than a million people were murdered at Auschwitz.
Höss was hanged in 1947 after he was found guilty at a trial in Warsaw, Poland.
Höss was born in Baden-Baden, Germany, on 25 November 1900.
His parents were Franz Xaver Höss and Lina Höss.
He was the oldest of three children, and was the only son.
Höss's family was very Catholic.
Höss's father was a former German army officer who had served in German East Africa (a German colony that included what are now Burundi, Rwanda, and part of Tanzania).
After leaving the army, he ran a tea and coffee business.
He brought up his son based on strict Catholic beliefs, and with military discipline.
He had decided that Höss would become a Catholic priest.
During Höss's early childhood, he was constantly being told about sin, guilt, and the need to do penance.
Höss began turning against religion as a young teenager.
This happened after he gave a confession to a priest (he told the priest what he had done wrong).
In Catholicism, the "Seal of the Confessional" is supposed to be unbreakable.
This means a priest is never supposed to tell anyone what someone has said in a confession.
Höss said he started to dislike religion when the priest told Höss's father about something Höss had said in a confession.
Soon after this, Höss's father died, and Höss began moving toward a military life.
When World War I started, Höss served briefly in a military hospital.
Then, at age 14, he was allowed to join his father's and grandfather's old regiment, the German Army's 21st Regiment of Dragoons.
At age 15, he fought with the Ottoman Sixth Army at Baghdad, at Kut-el-Amara, and in Palestine.
While stationed in Turkey, he rose to the rank of  (sergeant).
At age 17, he was the youngest non-commissioned officer in the German Army.
While in the Army, he was injured three times and got malaria.
He was awarded the Ottoman Empire's Gallipoli Star, the Iron Cross first and second class, and other decorations.
Nazi career
After Germany surrendered in November 1918, Höss finished high school.
Soon, he joined the nationalist paramilitary groups that were forming.
First, he joined the East Prussian Volunteer Corps.
Then he joined the  in the countries around the Baltic Sea, Silesia, and the Ruhr.
Höss participated in the armed terror attacks on Polish people during the Silesian Uprisings (when the Polish people tried to break away from German control).
He also participated in terror attacks on French nationals during the Occupation of the Ruhr (when the Ruhr valley in Germany was occupied by France and Belgium).
Höss joined the Nazi Party in 1922 after hearing Adolf Hitler's speech in Munich.
Höss led at least one political assassination, and spent six years in jail for it.
On 31 May 1923, in Mecklenburg, Germany, Höss and members of the Freikorps (German volunteer soldiers) beat to death a local schoolteacher named Walther Kadow.
They did this because Martin Bormann wanted them to.
Bormann later became Hitler's private secretary.
Bormann thought that Kadow had told the French occupational government Nazi soldier Albert Leo Schlageter was sabotaging French supply lines.
Schlageter was arrested and executed on 26 May 1923.
Soon afterward, Höss and several accomplices, including Bormann, killed Kadow out of revenge.
In 1923, after one of the killers confessed to a local newspaper, Höss was arrested and tried as the leader of the murder.
Höss later said than another man was actually in charge, but at the time, Höss accepted the blame as the group's leader.
He was convicted and sentenced (on 15 or 17 May 1924).
His sentence was for 10 years in Brandenburg Penitentiary (prison).
Bormann was sentenced to one year in prison.
Höss was released in July 1928 as part of a general amnesty.
He joined the  ("Artaman League"), a nationalist "back-to-the-land" movement that supported clean, farm living.
On 17 August 1929, Höss married Hedwig Hensel (3 March 1908 – 1989), whom he met in the Artaman League.
Between 1930 and 1943, they had five children: two sons (Klaus and Hans-Rudolf) and three daughters (Ingebrigitt, Heidetraut, and Annegret).
Joining the SS
Höss became a member of the SS on 1 April 1934, when Heinrich Himmler encouraged all Nazi men to join the SS.
Höss joined the SS-Totenkopfverbände (Death's Head Units) in the same year.
He came to admire Himmler so much that he thought whatever Himmler said was "gospel."
He even preferred to display Himmler's picture in his office instead of Hitler's.
Höss was assigned to the Dachau concentration camp in December 1934.
There, he where he held the post of Blockführer ("Block Leader"), meaning he was in charge of one barracks of prisoners.
In 1938, Höss was promoted to SS-Hauptsturmführer (Captain), and was made an assistant to Hermann Baranowski in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
Höss joined the Waffen-SS in 1939 after Nazi Germany invaded Poland.
Höss was good at his job, and his bosses suggested that he should be promoted (given a better job).
By the end of his tour of duty there, Höss was in charge of prisoners' belongings.
Auschwitz command
On 1 May 1940, Höss was appointed commandant of Auschwitz, which was a combination of concentration camps and an extermination camp.
Höss commanded the camp for three and a half years.
During this time, he changed the original camp into a huge complex (group of camps) called Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Höss went to Auschwitz determined "to do things differently" and develop a more efficient camp than the camps at Dachau and Sachsenhausen where he had worked before.
Höss lived at Auschwitz in a villa with his wife and five children.
The earliest inmates at Auschwitz were Soviet prisoners of war and Polish prisoners, including peasants and intellectuals.
About 700 of these prisoners arrived at Auschwitz in June 1940; the Nazi guards told them they would not survive more than 3 months.
Auschwitz I: The administrative centre for the whole complex
Auschwitz II (Auschwitz-Birkenau): The extermination camp, where people were sent to be killed right away
Auschwitz III (Monowitz): The forced labor camp, where prisoners were forced to do slave labor for I.G. Farben, and later other German companies
There were also many smaller "sub-camps" nearby.
The Auschwitz complex was built on about 8,000 hectares (20,000 acres) that had been cleared of everyone who lived there.
In June 1941, Höss met with SS Commander Heinrich Himmler in Berlin.
Himmler told Höss that Hitler had given the order for the Final Solution - to kill all of the Jewish people.
Himmler had chosen Auschwitz as the place where Europe's Jews would be exterminated.
