The article titled “scientists explain supernovae by candle light”, is written by Gemma Lavender, and published by Astronomy Now. Basically, the author seeks to intone that there appears to have been some new approaches into deciphering how type la supernovae actually occurs. Using examples presented by three other scientists mentioned in the article, the author presents a simulation of how supernovae occur. The misunderstanding of the Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition (DDT) mechanism and how its incorporation with previous practicalities will enable a better understanding of type la supernovae are some of the main ideas contained in the article
