COSMIC FIREWORKS Incredible pictures show the HUGE explosion caused by two stars smashing into each other

Stargazers snap images of an epic inferno which obliterated a distant galaxy

ASTRONOMERS have captured the incredible moment two stars collided 500 years ago to cause a spectacular explosion still visible from Earth.
