Transcripts

sedna: you know why i wanna discover a supernova, dini?

sedna: when a star dies and explodes as a supernova, for just a few days it becomes brighter than all the other stars in its galaxy combined, before it disappears forever.

sedna: the photons from this light travel across the cosmos for millions or billions of years, and if you’re lucky, against all odds, a few of them end up exactly in your eye.

sedna: what wouldn’t you give for a chance to experience something like that?
dini: m-maybe a good night’s sleep.
