Dust in the wind

Lightshow.

booyakasha!!!!!

Nice. Highest rated I hope.

Brilliant.

semen.

is this seriously a picture (series, that is) from the hubble? i mean, has this just happened?

Switch the song to Tiesto's "Supernova" (found on some rave sites) for a 5

lol, Katamari Damacy music

" lol, Katamari Damacy music " Lol. I was waiting for someone to notice.

that cant be real

i hear no sound

Thats weird.

Takes a while for the sound to start.

5 4 kata

one of them came out my sh*t hole this morning

If that really is a supernova thats insane.

^___^

If this is real that's amazing, I usually don't say fluffy gay sh*t like this, but that's a beautiful site to see. OMG FIVED.

not real

yeah change it to the transa supernova song

OMG, now the Klingons want to make peace with the Federation!

That can't be real, the physics of it just don't add up. The explosion can outshine the star's entire parent galaxy for a moment; if you could not see the star before it exploded nor the galaxy it is in (the explosion just comes from apparently blank space in this ytmnd), you would not see anything else after the initial cataclysmic flash. Also, instead of a ring almost instantly forming around the explosion, it would first simply sort of blow out a bubble of flaming material and gas in all directions.

Not very fond of space YTMND's.

cool

kitkat, the physics of supernovas make perfect sense. nova occur from white dwarf stars, which would easily be outshinned by any surrounding objects. the following explosion takes years, if not centuries to complete. this image is basically 100 years of the super nova, or something like that. as far as the ring, i am not familer with it. but im sure it is possible. there are many classifications of super novas, and the varience of the weights of elements in a star could produce a ring such as that.

Katamari Damacy Music + Star footage = 5 stars

Lower the Frame rate for great justice

This is the kind of stuff that actually NEEDS to be in higher quality.

thats awesome, always wanted to see one without dying.

lol @ saying it's from hubble

Yeah the hubble didn't capture that. You're full of sh*t.

Moar

that did not come from the hubble although it looks cool, site your source

5 for trippy space hubble pictures... +1 for Katamari Damacy... but unfortunately we don't have 6's on this site.

The physics of the ring make sense- to a point. Novae consist of many different materials, each bearing it's own mass. Since the composition of a star is constantly shifting anyways, the particular positioning of materials could, (according to their mass) draw centrifuge around a certain pattern- causing certain luminous materials to be expelled from the least polarized region of the star- (the center ring). As far as additional mass being extruded into nearby space, you see that around the middle of the

animation. The star as we’re seeing it (barely at all) is just a tiny blip- if anything to the exposure of the camera. The mass being expelled is consistent with the explosion. And for the amount of light? Let's be fair: The animation would just be one big white light if we were to take that into account. I'm sure the animator did his or her best to make it presentable for human exposure.

BOOM starshot.

Music gets you 5ed.

musik!

first ytmnd with nova as domain?

5'd for the description and I quote, "S" good day sir.

hubble lol

You get a 5 if you correct your sources

Hubble my ass

lol neutrinos.

Kinda reminds me of those old Anime shows they had on TV where entire cities would be blown up with atomic bombs... I like it. For some reason I feel the theme song from Firefly would go good there though.

Where did this come from?

4'd for comments and "hubble"

This is not a picture of a real supernova. Any camera that close would be obliterated.
