Astronomers have detected a previously unknown type of stellar explosion called a micronova involving thermonuclear blasts at the polar regions of a type of burned-out star called a white dwarf after it has siphoned material from a companion star.

The new type of stellar blast is less powerful than a classical nova, but just as intriguing.

Surprised astronomers find new type of star explosion - a micronova

Scientists who study stars have detected a previously unknown kind of event called a micronova. The event involves thermonuclear explosions that take place on a star called a white dwarf. The explosions happen because the white dwarf’s gravity has pulled material from a companion star.

The discovery of these micronova events challenge our understanding of stellar explosions, occurring more frequently than previously thought.

A micronova is by far the least powerful type of star explosions now known - less energetic than a blast called a nova in which a white dwarf's entire surface blows up and tiny compared to a supernova that occurs during the death throes of some giant stars

Micronova explosions are detected on celestial bodies like White Dwarfs opposite of a supernova, which reveals another nature of stars.
