An artists rendering of the explosion of SN 2006gy, a massive star that scientists are calling the brightest supernova on record. (NASA) A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, a string of supernovae explosions made for one wild light show, sending radioactive particles across our planet and possibly kickstarting a major climatic change, new studies say. Two separate studies published in Nature link radioactive debris found on the seafloor to the unworldly explosions. The first evidence...
