supernova

"A supernova is a stellar explosion that is more energetic than a nova. Supernovae are luminous and cause a burst of radiation that often briefly outshines the entire galaxy, before fading from view over several weeks or months. [...] On average, supernovae occur once every 50 years in a galaxy the size of the Milky Way. They play a significant role in enriching the interstellar medium with higher mass elements."

People of the likes of Chalayan and McQueen are scarce. This year, a supernova was obscured and another shone strongly in Paris.
