A groundbreaking discovery reveals that a binary star system just 150 light-years away will explode in a Type Ia supernova in 23 billion years. This finding confirms a long-theorized origin of supernovae, changing our understanding of cosmic events.
Astronomers at the University of Warwick have found a unique binary star system of two white dwarfs that are on a collision course, set to explode in a spectacular Type 1a supernova in 23 billion years. This event will be incredibly luminous, shining ten times brighter than the moon!
