Max Valier, "first casualty of the modern space age", [92] killed by rocket engine explosion. [93] 2 February 1931: Mount Redoria near Milan, Italy: 1: A liquid fueled, 132-pound (60 kg) meteorological rocket, that was constructed by American physicist, Dr. Darwin Lyon, exploded during tests, killing a mechanic and injuring three others. Dr.
The Space Variable Objects Monitor is a small X-ray telescope satellite for studying the explosions of massive stars by analysing the resulting gamma-ray bursts, developed by China National Space Administration (CNSA), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the French Space Agency , [45] launched on 22 June 2024 (07:00:00 UTC).
Once it's spotted, some of the most advanced observatories on Earth and in space will join in watching, ... explode like a thermonuclear bomb. Neither star is destroyed however, and the process ...
Minutes after launch, the 400-foot unmanned rocket, which was designed to transport people and material to the Moon and Mars, exploded. The tallest and most powerful rocket ever built launching.
The Crab Nebula is a pulsar wind nebula associated with the 1054 supernova.It is located about 6,500 light-years from the Earth. [1]A near-Earth supernova is an explosion resulting from the death of a star that occurs close enough to the Earth (roughly less than 10 to 300 parsecs [30 to 1000 light-years] away [2]) to have noticeable effects on Earth's biosphere.
Later measurements by space gamma-ray telescopes of the small fraction of the 56 Co and 57 Co gamma rays that escaped the SN 1987A remnant without absorption confirmed earlier predictions that those two radioactive nuclei were the power sources.

During this event a stony meteoroid about 50–60 m (160–200 ft) in size [1] [2]: p. 178 exploded at an altitude of 5–10 km (16,000–33,000 ft) over a sparsely populated forest in Siberia. The resulting shock wave flattened an estimated 80 million trees over a 2,150 km 2 (830 sq mi) area, and may have killed 3 people.
