Massive Star Explosion!

I thought that you guys should see this if you guys haven't heard about this already. It's a star that had exploded and was believed to have been exploded before Earth was created, in an unknown galaxy. This was the largest explosion ever seen, and it was so bright and so big that it could've been seen with the un-aided eye.

The New Scientist has an article on this, here.

It happened approximately 7.5 billion years ago, and has taken that long for the light to reach us.

Unfortunately I didn't see it but I would have liked to.

I would've liked to see this, but there was no explanation of what part of the Earth would've been able to see it, and what time it happened. I was probably playing video games when it happened though
