Astronomers first discovered that the spectrum of species of stellar flares, allowing scientists to measure the distance between the galaxies of the universe, much wider than expected. The researchers used the space telescope "Kepler" by NASA to photograph three SNe Ia, in the early stages of an outbreak $ CUT $. The researchers then followed the process of further development of these outbreaks in detail until it reaches maximum brightness outbreaks that took place about three weeks later, and then observed attenuation outbreaks occur in the next few months.

The researchers found that the initial stages of supernova explosions incorrectly described the existing theories.

"The explosion of each of these stars is unique. No generalizations do not work here, - said Dr. Brad Tucker from the Australian National University, Australia. - But what is interesting: although each of the investigated outbreaks in the initial stages of the process proceeds in its own way, however, towards the end of the process we see a striking similarity between these different outbreaks. "

In previous studies, the earliest stages of a supernova explosion observed was a stage that took place more than 2.5 hours after the start of the explosion, when all the explosions already develop at about the same scenarios. This enabled astronomers at the time to conclude that the processes occurring in supernova explosions, are identical to each other. Astronomers assumed that the cause of all supernovae, is the gradual "tightening" dense star matter, with its more "loose" stellar neighbor, as long as the "star cannibal" becomes so dense that its core carbon lights.
"However, to our surprise, the results favor the alternative hypothesis that the supernova explosion occurs as a result of a powerful cosmic collision between two small white dwarfs" - said study leader Dr. Robert Olling from the University of Maryland, USA.

As explained by Dr. Tucker, these new results do not dispute the existence of dark energy - in the open end of the XX century, a mysterious force accelerating expansion of the universe.
