A kilonova is a massive explosion in outer space that is unlike anything you've ever seen. That's because it's not just one star collapsing or exploding; it's actually two stars colliding and putting on a spectacular light show unlike anything else in the universe.
The thing
about a kilonova is that it's really rare, therefore we don't know anything
about it. It's difficult enough to identify a single star that has reached the
end of its life cycle, let alone two merging stars.
However, a
kilonova was just discovered by NASA's Hubble Telescope, and it was truly
something remarkable, highly unusual, and awe-inspiring.
