Cosmic Blast (2006)    
 
supernova seen from planetary system - artwork © Mark A. Garlick

  A giant star, reaching the inevitable end of its fuel supply, explodes in a tremendous explosion — brighter than a hundred billion stars — called a supernova. The force from the blast throws the remains of the star deep into space, where they will one day recollapse to form a star once more. Nature is wonderful at recycling. Here we see the blast from a distant planet and moon orbiting the former star. See also In the Line of Fire.
