Galactic explosions, also known as supernovae, are some of the most powerful and energetic events in the universe. They occur when a star reaches the end of its life and explodes, releasing a tremendous amount of energy and matter into the surrounding space. For astrophysicists, these events offer valuable insights into the workings of the universe. They can help us understand the lifecycle of stars, the distribution of elements in the universe, and the formation of galaxies. An international team of researchers was able to view an exploding supernova in a distant spiral galaxy by chance using data from the
