According to NASA, it exploded in 1901 . Once one of the brightest stars in a few days, it then faded quickly. In 2000, NASA scientists studied GK Persei with the help of the Chandra X-ray space observation device.

One of the results they obtained was a large sphere around the dwarf exploded, shaped like a beautiful firework display . Blue is the X-ray from Chandra, yellow is the optical data from the Hubble telescope, the data from the observatory measures pink radio interference.

" Over the years, when Chandra data expanded, GK Persei's fragments spread at a rate of more than 1 million km / h," said NASA's RT. They hope this discovery could help better understand a star's explosion in the universe.
