  • The article discusses a report in a 2010 issue of "Nature" regarding research by astronomers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, who have discovered the first-ever pair-instability supernova, which is a type of stellar explosion one hundred times more powerful than a supernova. A brief overview of the dynamics of stars and what happens when a star collapses is presented.
