Its light
         finally reached Robert Quimby's telescope last September in what researchers now call the brightest, most powerful supernova
         they have ever seen.
      </p> <P>It also appears to be far different from any they have seen before. The team of researchers argues that they may have witnessed
         for the first time a stellar endgame similar to blasts that obliterated many of the universe's first stars more than 12.6
         billion years ago.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0508/p01s04-usgn.html?s=u">They exploded so violently that, instead of collapsing upon themselves and creating neutron
         stars or black holes like most supernovae, these stars were annihilated. In the process, they jetted their star dust into
         the cosmos and seeded the young universe with a range of chemical elements forged in their furnaces. It's these elements that
         became the building blocks for new generations of stars, planets, and eventually, organic life.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/90BD4BFD-92E7-4033-8FB6-B4FA65532CFA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
