  1. dying supernova? by Xzzy · · Score: 1, Redundant

    What the heck is a "dying supernova" supposed to be?

    If a supernova is the act of a star "dying" and throwing off it's outer layers, does that then mean that a supernova is the zombie of the star, and when the supernova died, some cosmic cleric cast turn undead on it?

    Perhaps fading supernova remnant would have been a better choice. ;)
