In 1604, Johannes Kepler discovered the last observed supernova in the Milky Way. NASA’s Chandra telescope discovered the remains of a more recent supernova. It exploded in the Milky Way more than a hundred years ago. Supernova happens in both binary star systems and at the end of a single star’s lifetime.
Statement 2: The sun is a single star, but it does not have enough mass to become a supernova.
Statement 3: It is the largest explosion that takes place in space. A supernova burns for only a short period of time, but it can tell scientists a lot about the universe. One kind of supernova has shown scientists that we live in an expanding universe, one that is growing at an ever increasing rate.
