SN 2006gy was the brightest and largest supernova ever discovered, scientists announced. The star was in the NGC 1260 galaxy, in the same direction as the constellation Perseus and may be a type of supernova previously predicted by theory but not observed. The conclusion was reached after extended observations of the supernova by both optical telescopes and X-ray telescopy. Currently, there are two possible explanations for the supernova's brightness, but both require the star in question to have been at least a hundred times as massive as the sun. Although the supernova is brighter than SN 1987A, which was bright enough to be seen by the naked eye, SN 2006gy is too far away to be seen by the naked eye.

What is the Vela Supernova?
The Vela Supernova is the remnant of a supernova explosion that occurred in the Vela constellation about 11,000 to 12,300 years ago. It is located about 800 light-years away from Earth and is one of the closest known supernova remnants to us.
What is the adverb phrase of a black hole is the remains of a supermassive star after a supernova?
"after a supernova" is the adverb phrase in the sentence.
What is the name of an explodeing star?
It's Called A Supernova
When was Supernova released?
Supernova was released on 01/14/2000.
How many times bigger is a supernova than a nuclear explosion?
The lowest energy release in a supernova is about 1.5E44 Joules, the highest energy release in a nuclear explosion (i.e. the Soviet Tsar Bomba of 1961) was about 2.17E17 joules (although significantly larger yields are possible, nobody has seen any reason to build one).This is 27 orders of magnitude between the smallest supernova and the largest nuclear explosion that was ever done!!!
Which is the largest supernova or galaxies?
Galaxy
What is the order from smallest to largest sun supernova red giant white dwarf?
White Dwarf, Sun, Red Giant, Supernova
Can a supernova create other galaxies?
No. A supernova is only a single exploding star and only the mass of one large star is involved. A galaxy is billions of times more massive than even the largest star.
What happens if all the stars in the universe supernova?
Bad things. If all the starts went supernova at the exact same time, we'd still only be affected by our own sun's supernova. The others starts are so far away that we wouldn't notice for years. Assuming that the sun somehow skipped the other stages of death and suddenly went supernova regardless of its mass, we'd be doomed about 8 minutes after it happens. On the scale of the universe though, there'd be complete chaos. Planets flying everywhere, no more energy for known life to exist, etc. Keep in mind that only the largest of starts can potentially go supernova, though. If only the starts big and bright enough to supernova went supernova, things would be bad but very different.
What is the Vela Supernova?
The Vela Supernova is the remnant of a supernova explosion that occurred in the Vela constellation about 11,000 to 12,300 years ago. It is located about 800 light-years away from Earth and is one of the closest known supernova remnants to us.
When will 24 hours of light exist on Earth because of a star going supernova?
When the second largest known star, in the universe, goes supernova, this will occur. (Estimates range from this happening in the year 2012, all the way to one million years from now.) The name of this giant star is Betelgeuse.
What is the adverb phrase of a black hole is the remains of a supermassive star after a supernova?
"after a supernova" is the adverb phrase in the sentence.
What are the two largest known stars in the universe?
1. VY Canis Majoris 2. Betelgeuse (which is scheduled to supernova sometime between 2012 and a million years from now)
