Death 11.5 Billion Years Ago Bombs NASA: A Chilling Prediction for Us

One of the most terrifying and fierce death objects in the universe accidentally entered the Hubble hunter's lens after traveling through time from a world 11.5 billion years ago.

The grim reaper was a massive, powerful supernova that exploded when the universe was just over 2 billion years old. NASA initially overlooked it when analyzing the Hubble Space Telescope's staggering trove of data, because it was too far away and difficult to observe, Space reported.

However, with the amazing clarity of the data provided by Hubble, the "bombing" moment was "unearthed" by a research team led by Associate Professor Patrick Kelly from the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota.

The clip, reconstructed from precious Hubble observation data, shows how the cosmic "death god" appeared.

In the clip released by NASA, a huge star can be seen suddenly exploding violently , striking viewers with an overwhelming light, then continuing to emit a strange cloud after the first explosion.

"You see different colors in three different images. You have a massive star, the core collapses, it creates a shock, it heats up, and then you see it cool down over a week. I think it's probably one of the most amazing things I've ever seen!" - NASA quoted Associate Professor Kelly.

That event constitutes what astronomers call a 'supernova,' the cataclysmic death of a star, which our own world will experience in about 5 billion years, when the Sun runs out of energy and dies.

As previous studies have shown, stars - including the Sun - after exhausting their energy will swell into a red giant in their "dying" phase, then explode as a supernova. After the explosion, what is left may be a white dwarf, a small, energetic "zombie".

White dwarfs can continue to explode over time, with the largest ones evolving into stellar-mass black holes.

So the Hubble image is a chilling prediction of our future. Such an explosion would be enough to 'massacre' at least a few planets around our parent star, if we manage to escape being swallowed up in the Sun's red giant phase.

This prediction, however, was on a much larger scale, because the supernova Hubble captured was thought to be a 'red supergiant,' 530 times the radius of our Sun. It was that terrifying size that allowed us to see it from a world 11.5 billion light years away, aided by some lucky optical factors.

This image lurks behind the galaxy cluster Abell 370 , discovered by Hubble in 2010. Hubble captured the entire cluster just hours after the star began to die, capturing the entire terrifying process in real time, through three moments that fully represent the three stages of the supernova.

It was the Abell 370 galaxy that helped Hubble's "eye" power to see this object, because light is bent around the galaxy cluster by its gravity, causing the whole cluster to form a gravitational lens that helps Earthlings see objects that would otherwise be out of sight.

Because it is 11.5 billion light years away, the image of what happened to the terrifying supernova above is also an image of the world 11.5 billion years ago, not reality. At that time, the early universe was thought to be filled with giant and aggressive objects, the dead star being an example.

At this distance, the object also becomes one of the oldest and most distant supernovae ever discovered by humans. In addition to predicting the future, it is also a rare and precious window into the dawn of the universe.
