SciShow | The Most Important Explosion in History @SciShow | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 3 days ago
Not long after the supernova of 1604, the telescope was invented. But astronomers would have to wait nearly FOUR CENTURIES to witness the next supernova that was visible to the naked eye. It was 1987, and a blue supergiant in the Large Magellanic Cloud was replaced in the night sky with a violent explosion. And nearly four decades on, astronomers are still unpacking what happened.
