Astronomers witness biggest star explosion: Nature Newsastronomers have watched the violent death of what was probably the most massive star ever detected.

The supernova explosion, which lasted for months, is thought to have generated more than 50 Suns'worth (1032 kilograms) of different elements,

The explosion dubbed SN2007BI was spotted as part of a digital survey to hunt for supernovae at the Palomar Observatory near San diego, California.

Gal-Yam and his colleagues report that the explosion was probably that of a supermassive star, at least two hundred times the mass of the Sun1.

The explosion generated several Suns'worth of radioactive nickel-56 and vast quantities of other lighter elements, such as carbon and silicon.

Gal-Yam says that it is the radioactive decay of the nickel that kept the explosion glowing for months.
