But one massive star, hundreds of times heavier than our Sun, self-destructed so catastrophically that it left behind no remnant whatsoever, astronomers report in a new study awaiting peer review and highlighted by Phys.org
First detected in 2023 in a dwarf galaxy some 1.3 billion light years away, the blast is now believed to be an elusive class of explos
