Once In A Lifetime Space Event

[UltRaiser]

New star dropping before gta 6 is crazy

[falconnnn]

What's crazy is that this has already happened and 3000 years later we're getting to know

[epicman]

i swear there’s always a “once in a lifetime” space event every year

[pressxfor]

With my luck, it’ll be cloudy the entire week

[matazock]

In astronomy something like "soon" usually means sometime in the next thousands of years.

[darth_meadow]

I feel like the most spectacular part is that it already happened and our eyes finally get to see it

[colossalgamestv]

the fact this has already happened, but we havent experienced it yet due to the speed of light is astounding

[Ey_SmoKrac]

red giant: "i thought you were dead"
white dwarf: "my death was, extremely exaggerated"

[durganaveen]

"3000 light years away from earth."
"will happen this year."
wow

[myku]

Events with no exact date that got me interested always made me extremely anxious of forgetting about it after day

[crumchyolv]

As shitty as life is on earth rn, it's almost comforting to remember that our universe is beautiful and will continue to be with or without us.

[chicken]

It's fascinating how space events can happen so far away yet still captivate us here on Earth.

[HerMajestyVelvet]

Great now I’m going to be hurting my neck from looking at the sky at every moment

[L-AnternRite]

Finally Youtube decides to reccomend me a Space Event that didnt already happen 2 years ago!

Edit : Some of yall are dense.

[dback]

“Some time soon” in science speak is like 100, 000 years tho 😂😂😂

[psndny]

3000 light years? Would this mean that it already combusted 3000 years ago?

[Criminalitylife]

Ah man this is so cool! * *_recommended one month later_* *

[TripPy_Poly]

Fun fact, this event is called a type 1a supernova, it is when a white dwarf’s masses have increased to a certain threshold (1.4 solar masses) and at that point it became to dense that the force that electrons in the center pushes each other (electron degeneracy pressure) is no longer able to withstand it (this process is quite similar for other types of supernova as well)

Well *type 1a is different* because every 1a happens at a certain threshold, meaning that all 1a supernova are almost identical (examples are the light curves having similar shapes and it’s peak luminosity being equal)

I know, I saw this 3000 years ago, good old memories

[macazootie]

If it's 3000 light-years away, it already happened before any of us existed.
