A supernova occurs during the end of a star’s life when destruction is marked by one final, colossal explosion causing the appearance of a “new” star that will gradually fade from sight over several weeks, months, or years.
Did Benjamin Banneker witness a Supernova during his many years of observing the stars?
Nobody knows for sure since nearly all of his research, writings, and worldly possessions (including his famous clock) were said to be destroyed when his house was burnt down while his funeral was going on just a few hundred yards away.
