There are, in the universe, stars that explode that are a thousand times more massive than our sun... Some are called Supernovas and some are called Hypernovas... Gamma-Rays bursts are Hypernovas... Read more about it below:

By the way... when our sun dies, in about 5 billion years.. it will be nothing but a 'White dwarf'... no nova at all...

maybe this is already revealed in the "Picture Me" contest or something, but are you an amateur astronomer by any chance? Just curious. :wink: (And no, I'm not.)

:D I bow my head to your greatness.........this has to be my FAVORITE level yet. Normally I don't like the 'dark' but this little puzzle, linked to another little puzzle.......perfect. I messed up once with the space dogs :lol: but it was so much fun going back and doing it again.
I saw this as soon as I got home from work last eve and played it before nighty-night.

More, please!!

Hi Carolyn,

This is a truly GREAT level - very well thought out :roll: :roll:

Fortunately, the first thing I do now on any new level is to see how many rainbow coins are needed and count those visable on the level. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Many thanks,

Cosmic puzzle, first attempt 42 coins.. then for the next 5 goes my best was 18 LOL( See everytime I play I lose a few brain cells) then I started taking more care and finished after a detour to find the last coin, thank goodness I play without a timer... Thank you I loved it.

No... LinkyNStoof, I am not a amateur astronomer... I just have an interest in the Universe and all the stars... Most the information or knowledge I have gotten has been from the net... Its mind boggling just how HUGE the Universe is... The earth is nothing but a mote of dust in the vastness of the Universe... Read Carl Sagan's 'Reflection on a mote of Dust'... at:

http://www.seds.org/billa/psc/pbd.html

I printed it out and have it hanging above my desk... to remind me.. I guess... Its rather enlighten just how small the earth and all of us, really are...

I have been trying to figure out how to do a level on a black hole... I just haven't figured out yet how to do it.... but I will... hehee.... :lol: :lol:... maybe...

Great level, Carolyn. :D I kept making dumb mistakes, but I got there in the end. When freightrain saw the level, he said "WOW!" Very high compliment from him. :D I had a lot of fun with it. Thanks. :D
