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!
A groundbreaking study reveals that Earth's water may have originated from supernova explosions shortly after the Big Bang, suggesting that conditions for life existed billions of years earlier than previously believed.
