The dimmest ever exploding star has been spotted by the twin ATLAS telescopes in Hawaii.

夏威夷的雙星ATLAS望遠鏡發現了有史以來最暗淡的爆炸恆星。

Solving the mystery of how the explosion happened could have implications for how we measure the expansion rate of the universe.

解開爆炸是如何發生的謎團，可能會對我們如何測量宇宙的膨脹率產生影響。

One theory for the origin of this peculiar astronomical event – 150 million light years away – is that it is a failed or incomplete explosion of a small, very dense star called a white dwarf.

對於這個距我們1.5億光年遠的特殊天文事件的起源，有一種理論認為它是一顆被稱為白矮星的小而緻密的恆星的失敗或不完全爆炸。

Stars of low to medium mass like the sun become white dwarfs after they have burned …

低至中等品質的恆星，如太陽，在燃燒…後會變成白矮星
