Milky Way star on brink of gamma-ray explosion, say scientists
Australian scientists claim to have discovered a star that is on the verge of a massive supernova explosion. It could produce the first gamma-ray explosion in the Milky Way galaxy, the scientists further said. The star, about 8,000 light years away from the Earth, is part of a rare star system named 'Apep' after the Egyptian god of chaos.
