What does a giant dying star look like? For the first time, scientists were able to witness the explosive end of an enormous star as it happened. Using ground and space-based telescopes, astronomers have found out that the star is about 120 million light-years away from Earth, and it was 10 times bigger than Sun before it burst out. Before they go out in flames, some stars experience violent eruptions or release glowing hot layers of gas.
