With explosions like none in existence


At the end of the Universe, long after the last shining stars flickered, there could be one last explosion. Named black dwarf supernovae, these dazzling explosions will announce in the eternal darkness as the Universe falls asleep, a new study suggests.

These newly proposed supernovae are a special race that has never happened before in the Universe. Black dwarf supernovae may be the last event to occur in the Universe, which will then be a largely empty place where the temperature reaches absolutely zero.
