Arriving perfectly in time for Diwali is your host Athar, kicking off season 3 of Astrobytes with his first episode: Supernova - the big firecrackers of the universe.

What happens to a star after it reaches the end of its life? does it explode and just die? If so, how big and bright is the explosion? How many have we seen so far? To know more about this extraordinary phenomenon, tune in to Astrobytes' newest episode where the host deals with the above questions and talks about historic and epic supernovae spanning the last 2000 years of human history. (the explosions in the background are snippets of Diwali celebrations.)
