Carl Sagan famously said that we are made of star stuff.
Which is true.
The more interesting heavy elements (gold; platinum; plutonium; etc.) are formed during a Kilonova:
When a Neutron Star collides with another, or a Blackhole.

A thousand times brighter than a typical nova, a kilonova occurs when two neutron stars, or a neutron star and a black hole, collide.

Autrement dit, une supernova pourrait avoir produit deux étoiles à neutrons jumelles qui ont ensuite fusionné pour former une kilonova en son sein.
On a notre superkilonova.

A brand new Celeste custom map by kilonova from the JP community has just been released!
I had the pleasure of helping out with various assets, including the promotional art, endscreen, background, map icon, and decals.
It’s a map inspired by Mauve — give it a try!

Hello!
My name is Natasha and I’m an astrophysics PhD candidate. I work with data from optical telescopes to search for fast evolving explosions in the sky 💥 On the lookout for the strange and unusual, but mainly I’m searching for kilonovae 🌟🔭👩🔬

CMU researchers helped investigate AT2025ulz, a cosmic explosion that looked like both a kilonova and a supernova. Their multiwavelength observations suggest it could be the first example of a theorized superkilonova, sparking new questions about stellar collisions. 🧪 ⚛️ #Astronomy
It’s a kilonova! It’s a supernova! It’s a superkilonova?
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, Caltech, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and other institutions are working to understand what caused an unusual cosmic event on Aug. 18, 2025.
