Can we predict the violent explosion of a star?
In short: A supernova occurs roughly every second in the observable universe, yet we have never witnessed the initial moments of such an event. This video explores whether scientists can develop an early warning system to detect these cosmic explosions as they happen.
While supernovae are frequent occurrences in the observable universe, catching the very first moments of the explosion remains an unsolved challenge. Samantha Kuula examines the scientific methods and potential technologies required to create a system capable of providing early detection for these massive stellar events.
