Description

English: Original caption: "This graph shows the intrinsic brightness of SN 2006gy and how it changes over time. The graphic also demonstrates how much brighter SN 2006gy is when compared to typical examples of the two main supernova classes. Type Ia supernovas involve the thermonuclear explosion of a white dwarf and type II supernovas are the collapse of a massive star. The famous supernova SN 1987A is also shown. Not only does SN 2006gy get much brighter than other supernovas but it stays very bright for much longer."
