In 1054 AD, Chinese astronomers wondered for the first time about a new bright star in the constellation Taurus, which faded again after a few weeks. After the invention of the telescope, a bizarre small cloud was found in its place. It was not until the 20th century that science succeeded in understanding the processes in exploding stars. Very different stellar fates can lead to a final explosion.
