text: Supernovas take place when a large star, at least eight times the size of the sun, runs out of elements to fuse for energy and collapses upon itself.
text: A high redshift would suggest the supernova had taken place very far away, and was thus very, very bright.
text: This supernova is also unique in that it took place away from the type of environment where supernovas usually occur; most observed supernovas happen in dense star clusters, but this one happened in a relatively isolated spot in space, some 54,000 light years from the center of its host dwarf galaxy.
text: This also means that, if we see Betelgeuse explode tonight, the supernova really took place over 600 years ago, we're only seeing it now.
text: It is the remnant of a supernova that took place approximately 300 years ago (as observed now from Earth; it is 10,000 light-years away), and has the distinction of being the strongest radio source observable outside the Solar System.
text: As Woosley explains to IFLScience, if a neutron star has a binding energy holding it together more than one-sixth the rest mass energy of the Sun, it will likely collapse into a black hole before a supernova can take place.
