Snippet #2823286

Suddenly, as if by divine intervention, one of the nearby stars detonates. As a G-Type, it was expected that it would flare up over the next few billion years, slowly expanding to engulf the nearby planetary bodies on its way to burnout and its final extinguishment phase, but this was an out of the ordinary occasion. In almost an instant, the plasma surrounding the fusion reaction collapsed inward, taking just over a minute to arrive at the star's neutron-rich center before reflecting back out in a cacophony of turbulent waves scattered across the entire spectrum. An immense gravitational wave blasts outward, detectable only by the most advanced of civilizations, but one that would summon immense interest in this bizarre, seemingly chance event.
