Astronomers have observed a rare and 'bizarre' star explosion that could help uncover 'the mysteries of the universe.'
"I was observing that night and was absolutely stunned when I saw the lensed image of SN Zwicky," they said."We catch and classify thousands of transients with the Bright Transient Survey, and that gives us a unique ability to find very rare phenomena such as SN Zwicky."
SN Zwicky is a Type Ia supernova, which according to Caltech, involves a star going out with a bang. Study co-author Joel Johansson said this type of supernova lets researchers"see further back in time because they are magnified."
