The 'Millinova'. These cosmic explosions, 100 times brighter than the Sun, were stumbled upon by scientists and are reshaping our understanding of stellar evolution. Unlike conventional novae or supernovae, millinovas occur when a white dwarf devours material from a subgiant companion, resulting in breathtaking bursts of heat and X-ray radiation. Found within our neighboring galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, these explosive events reach mind-boggling temperatures exceeding one mil
