For years now the close study of transiently accreting neutron stars has proven to be a powerful method for really studying and understanding the core properties of these stellar corpses.

Welcome back to Factnomenal and today we’re going to take a look at this gigantic explosion, one so rare that we are unlikely to ever see it again!
