Nature hath no fury
like a dying star - and astronomers could not be happier...
An international
research team, led by Edo Berger of Harvard University, made the most of a
dying star's passion to probe a distant galaxy some 9.5 billion light-years
distant. The dying star, which lit the galactic scene, is the MOST distant
stellar explosion of its kind ever Studied. According To Berger, "It's
like someone turned on a flashlight in a dark room and allowed us to see suddenly,
for a short time, what this far-off galaxy looks like, what it is composed
of."
