NASA's Hubble telescope captures 'veil-like' Superva Blast

Earlier Hubble telescope also detected two Supervae, SN 1971D and SN 2017erp in galaxy in May 2020 formed due to lumius explosions. According to NASA scientists, phemen was “brighter than any or star in night sky.” However, scientists said that “brightest superva ever recorded.” Superva in galaxy is SN 1006, which exploded in Milky Way galaxy and shone “16 times as bright as Venus from April 30 to May 1, 1006 .”

According to NASA scientists, a Superva blast is a 'super-powerful and extremely bright explosion of a star in ' which happened 10,000-20,000 years ago. remnants of de stars expanded 60 light-years from its centre at a speed of 220 miles per second in Andromeda Galaxy. Scientists observed shockwaves emanating out of de stars that marked outer edge of superva. NASA explains in release that interstellar material interacted with burst material that spiralled outwardly which led to formation of a veil-like stellar structure due to powerful explosion.
