Sharp images, obtained with the help of space telescope "Hubble", confirmed that three supernovae discovered a few years ago, exploded in the dark emptiness of intergalactic space, being expelled from his native galaxies millions or billions of years ago.

These single supernova was found between galaxies in three major clusters comprising several thousand galaxies. The nearest stellar neighbors supernova located 300 light-years, which is almost 100 times more than our closest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri, is distant at 4.24 light years.

Discovered "loner" recalled the head of research Melissa Graham (Melissa Graham) from the University of California, Berkeley, a passionate lover of science fiction, the fictional star of Trial (Thrial), which, in the novel by Ian Banks "Beyond the Darkness", is expressed in millions of light years away any other star. The night sky is one of its habitable planets, Golter, almost starless.
Any planets around the stars of the intracluster no doubt have been destroyed in the blasts, but they, like Golter, would the night sky bright stars impoverished, schiatete Graham. The density of intracluster stars is about one-millionth of what we see from Earth.
