Maui telescope collects the largest catalog of exploding stars
HALEAKALA, Hawaii — The largest catalog of exploding stars is now available, according to a release from the University of Hawaii.
The catalog of nearly 2,000 supernovae (colossal explosions of stars) was made available by the Pan-STARRS telescope, which sits atop Haleakala on Maui. The telescope surveyed more than 1,500 square degrees of sky for three years, finding thousands of new cosmic explosions.
