That seems to be the approach from a team led by Keri Hoadley of the University of Florida, who recently laid out a mission concept for the Ultraviolet Type Ia Supernova CubeSat (UVIa).

He’s an astronomer at Washington State University. He told me a supernova is a very energetic explosion in space. There are different kinds of supernovas. One kind – called a type II supernova ...

The Big Bang produced hydrogen and helium. All the other elements have been produced by nuclear fusion reactions in stars and supernova explosions.

One, he says is more maneuverable, more capable, and more rapid. "Our Supernova Spacecraft is now providing the ability to move quickly to other orbital destinations in ways that just aren't ...
