The NY Times reports that the most massive supernova every observed occurred last September.
Better information available at Space.com. The NY Times waters down the science, as usual.
I haven’t been keeping up on my Blog Tracking or this wouldn’t be a surprise to me. This supernova is particularly cool because it does not fall into the current theories of stellar death. Someone, somehwere, just discovered their Ph.D. dissertation.
