#Spacetober Day 8: #Supernova

My first animation ever! A star fires off gamma-ray jets, explodes, and the sky goes quiet again.

#Spacetober Day 8: #Supernova

Part 1, the opening salvo: the gamma-ray burst of GRB 250314A lasted about 10 seconds, but the supernova took months to brighten.

My mad plan is to make this into an animation 😀
