## Caption

BOOM! This beautiful billow of blues, greens, and purples is a supernova explosion, a.k.a. a star bursting. Although they're the largest explosions in space, they're hard to see in our own galaxy (the Milky Way), since there's so much dust floating around. Fun Fact: in 2011, a 10-year-old girl from Canada discovered one! Maybe you'll be next. #supernova #explosion #milkyway #terrifictuesday #discovery
