...super-duper nova, dubbed SN 2006gy, was set apart from the more common variety by what happened in the center of the star as it was dying.

In SN 2006gy, the sheer mass of the star produced so much core heat and gamma-ray radiation that it created matter and antimatter...

Drummey ’07, a Harvard fixture since the pair’s freshman year, is currently in contract negotiations with Star Trak Entertainment, a subsidiary of Interscope Records, Universal Music Group, and Vivendi SA.
