Supernova
A supernova is an explosion of a star at the end of its lifetime. The core of the star implodes and an explosion occurs. This results into a rotating neutron star that can be observed years later as a radio pulsar. Supernovas are rare events and the last one occurred in 1604 and was known as Keplers Star. The supernova prior to that was the Crab Nebula.
