I think that this star system needs a new name. "KPD1930+2752" just doesn't have the pazazz needed to sell it to the American people.

Astronomers have found a star that will produce one of the biggest explosions in our Universe.

And the 9th largest in all the multiverse!!!

Prior to the third age, that is.

By using this method, astronomers have found that the Universe is not only expanding, but that the expansion appears to be speeding up.

Perhaps we are but a speck in another organism growing? (just kidding, though some believe this)
