The same patch of sky is shown in 2014, before the supernova exploded, and in 2018, highlighting just how far outside the galaxy the explosion occurred.

Dark Matter.
Everything in astrophysics can be explained with Dark Matter.
It's the Universal Fudge Factor.

Cool!
You better move over
Here comes a Super-nova

"something called a pair-instability supernova"
Otherwise called a hypernova. The larger a star is, the hotter it burns. The core undergoes so much fusion of hydrogen to helium that there is an overabundance of gamma rays, and energy begins converting to matter again in the form of electron-positron pairs. This is an endothermic process which temporarily stalls thermal expansion, a necessary counterbalance to gravitational collapse. As the core begins collapsing, pressure spikes and all the hydrogen converts to helium at once, rather than slowly over time. The star explodes.

Supernovae are assumed to exist based on currently accepted theory. Like Darwinian Evolution, there’re too many assumptions and too many extrapolations based on those assumptions. I like the Electric Universe theory (visit YouTube channel: ThunderboltsProject). It’s based on scalable and reproducible experimental plasma physics.

ONE of us has to implode, explode or step into the next parallel universe and it WON’T be me.

Think CERN will give us all a warning B4 they make their own ‘black hole’ that devours our earth??

Just a Xeelee test of a super weapon to kill dark matter entities.

Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. If this star is 54 billion light years away, how long ago did it actually get blowed up?

This is old news. This supernova actually happened about a billion years ago.

Get over it. It happened a very long time ago. ;-D
