Space researchers can already predict a stellar explosion billions of light years away. The decisive factor is the gravitational force.
Such a supernova with the dark name “Requiem” will be seen on Earth in about 13 years. However, the distant event poses no danger to our home planet. But how did space research become aware of a cosmic spectacle that will only be observable around 2037? The “Reqiuem” stellar explosion took place in the background of the galaxy cluster MACS J0138, about ten billion light-years from Earth. This is why it takes so long for the light from the supernova to reach our solar system. Although it won't be visible to the naked eye, the space agency hopes to be able to witness it with telescopes in 2037. But more important are the implications of the phenomenon's reappearance. If you were to point a very, very large telescope at this region today, you would see the super Nova’s predecessor, which has not yet exploded, yet.
