Star iPTF14hls

Usually, when a star goes supernova, the core collapses in less than a second, the shockwave hits several hours later, and peak brightness is reached in a few months. After that, the star fades from sight and is no more.

However, Star iPTF14hls didn’t get the memo. This star, which is located within the constellation Ursa Major, erupted continuously for around 1,000 days! Astronomers could not explain this incredible phenomenon other than with the theory that the star was so large and hot that it created antimatter at its core, which fueled the lengthy eruption. Talk about going out with a bang!

As if spending almost three years exploding from within wasn’t enough, Star iPTF14hls didn’t simply fade away afterward. Instead, the star transformed into a remnant nebula where new stars will form far in the future.

With so many stars in the universe, very few are well-known. Despite this, and the fact that Star iPTF14hls was never visible without the use of a telescope, it is still remembered even a decade later. This shows that while being memorable isn’t always easy, there are ways to stand out.
