Universe is 14 billion years old.Our sun is 5 billion years.
Supernovae and Gamma ray burstsExplosions lasting fraction of a second to few seconds.

SN & GRB: Most powerful explosions
• Energy is 1029 times more than an atmospheric nuclear bomb explosion.
• One supernova can shine brighter than the whole galaxy consisting of 200 billion stars.
• As much energy in 1 month as Sun will emit in 5 billion years.
• Gamma ray bursts are 100 times more powerful than even supernovae.

In our universe, roughly 1-8 supernova explodes
every second and around 1 GRB is detected everyday.
