Astronomers think a strange neutron star first discovered in 2011 experienced a 'hyperburst' nuclear explosion beneath its surface, an event so rare that we will probably never see one again

Astronomers think they have found evidence for an extremely powerful nuclear explosion in space – one so rare that we are unlikely to ever see its like again.

The explosion seems to have taken place inside a strange neutron star located 140,000 light-years from Earth called MAXI J0556–332. are the remnant cores of larger stars that have exploded in supernovas, leaving city-sized objects that contain up to twice the mass of our sun.

You say, 'an event so rare that we will probably never see one again.' Just one more question, did we actually see this one or are calculations involved? Figures don't lie but liars often figure especially when money is involved. Where did the picture come from?

'Nuclear' explosion in a neutron star? Seems rather absurd. Could you please define or explain that please?

Not paying for it. CLICK BAIT! You have paywall and on top run ads on your page, despicable

Fuck your paywall

we're seen space with time spectrum so how not ?🙄

Instead of imploding into a BlackHole its Energy overcame its Mass own Gravity and kaboom! Some times tunneled EM_Radiation can break out Causality. Not a single 'Universe' common event.

Wow. The good news is that since this was '140,000 light-years from Earth', it probably won't hurt us, but I doubt a star blowing up is good.

I saw one yesterday

The picture itself at least is just an artistic work

A likely story but where is it? What telescope? Who astronomer(s)? What was actually observed? How much is fact and how much is educated guessing? That pretty much covers it.
