Rapid observations using the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have revealed the explosive death of a star just as the blast wave burst through the front of the star. For the first time, astronomers have revealed the shape of the explosion in its earliest and most fleeting phase. This brief phase was not observable even a day later, and it helps answer a host of questions about how massive stars become supernovae. Photo: ESO
