Discoveries using the telescopes on Mauna Kea
Scientists were able to observe a red giant go supernova.


Quote:"The final moments of stellar death

Astronomers were first alerted to the star's unusual activity 130 days before it went supernova. Bright radiation was detected in the summer of 2020 by the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy Pan-STARRS telescope on Maui's Haleakalā."

The actual observation of the supernova was carried out by the Keck observatory.  I have to admit when there was talk of Betelgeuse going supernova, and what it would do for the night sky, I looked at it many nights thinking it would be the coolest thing to witness. Granted, if it happened, that beautiful red star would eventually fade to black and forever change Orion.

Here is a link to the article I read: https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/06/world/red...index.html

Edited to add link to another good article: https://www.engadget.com/scientists-see-...42583.html
