What happens when a star dies? Today we journey through the powerful stellar finales, from the gentle flare of a nova to the cataclysmic force of a kilonova. Join us as we unravel the stories behind novae, supernovae, hypernovae, kilonovae, and the recently discovered micronovae.

 

Have a listen & find out what makes stars go out with a bang!
