Supernovae—massive stellar explosions—have long baffled astronomers due to their sudden, unpredictable nature. But a groundbreaking rapid-response protocol now allows scientists to analyze these cosmic events within hours of their explosion. In this video, we explore the innovative methodology developed by Lluís Galbany and his team at the Institute of Space Sciences, which leverages cutting-edge telescopes like the Gran Telescopio de Canarias (GTC) to capture early spectra of supernovae. Learn about the two main types of supernovae: thermonuclear (from white dwarfs in binary systems) and core-collapse (from massive stars). Discover how early observations reveal critical clues about progenitor stars, binary interactions, and the physics of stellar death. With this protocol, future surveys like the LSST and LS4 will unlock unprecedented insights into the universe's most dramatic phenomena.
