- First Sunrise on Hinode's instruments
10-31-2006 · EurekAlert!
The Hinode (formerly Solar-B) satellite, a joint Japan/NASA/PPARC mission launched on 22nd September 2006, has today (October 31st) reported its first observations of the Sun with its suite of scientific instruments. The satellite was renamed "Hinode" which is Japanese for Sunrise, which is most appropriate since Hinode will watch at close hand massively explosive solar flares erupting from the Sun's surface and rising into interstellar space.

- Largest, brightest supernova ever seen may be long-sought pair-instability supernova
05-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
UC Berkeley astronomers Nathan Smith and David Pooley report the most luminous supernova ever detected, the explosion of a super-massive star in a galaxy 250 million light years away. The scientists estimate the star was 150 times larger than our sun, and that it exploded via an entirely new mechanism never before observed. Unlike other massive supernovas, this so-called pair instability supernova left behind no black hole.
