What an exploding star looks like

The Kepler telescope has watched two supernovae break out of the surface of stars.

Shouldn't this be in the Natural Sciences section?

And yeah, it looks amazing!

Was hoping its the newly named Guptastar.

We're talking explosion though, not implosion.

It is too far away for an actual picture. You would just see a point of light.
They look at the spectral content of the light to get a better picture of what is going on.

[SoulTax]
