Wtf came up with the silly kilonova name? Clearly this is an Orgasmnova

Read the article and click on the link explaining kilonova. Short answer, yes, you missed the memo.

Astronomers are reporting evidence for a possible second kilonova event, but the case is not closed. In fact, this situation is much more complex.

TIL “A kilonova (also called a macronova) is a transient astronomical event that occurs in a compact binary system when two neutron stars (BNS) or a neutron star and a black hole collide.”

Most of the rest is beyond my current astronomy understanding.

A thousand times brighter than a typical nova, a kilonova occurs when two neutron stars, or a neutron star and a black hole, collide.😲

TikTokでアーティストアカウントを申請しようとしたら、自分の楽曲に対して別のユーザーが利用申請しており、申請を進めることが出来ませんでした。これ自体はよくあることのようで、自分がkilonova(すべて小文字)に対して、申請してる人がKilonova(Kだけ大文字)なので、類似ユーザー名のために誤って紐付けられているのだと思うけど…問い合わせしようにも「問い合わせ」ボタンを押すと、再び「問い合わせ」ボタンが出てくるという無限ループに陥ってしまい、サポートセンターに辿り着けません!というわけでバイトダンスに知り合いいるからDMしようかなw

Astronomers have identified a rare cosmic event, AT2025ulz, that may represent a supernova followed by a kilonova, offering new insights into the formation of heavy elements. doi.org/hbft6q
Possible 'superkilonova' exploded not once but twice
When the most massive stars reach the ends of their lives, they blow up in spectacular supernova explosions, which seed the universe with heavy elements such as carbon and iron.

Double cosmic explosion may be the first-ever confirmed ‘Super kilonova’
Astronomers might have confirmed the primary "Superkilonova," an exceptionally highly effective cosmic explosion ensuing from the merger of compact objects, noticed throughout huge cosmic distances. This monumental discovery, originating from a cataclysmic occasion billions of light-years away, presents unprecedented insights into the universe's most excessive phenomena and the genesis of heavy parts. The universe is a dynamic enviornment of creation and destruction, with essentially the most dramatic occasions typically involving the collapse or collision of huge stars. For many years, astrophysicists have sought to grasp the origins of the heaviest parts within the periodic desk, from gold and platinum to uranium, which can't be cast within the hearts of abnormal stars.
