💨 Abstract

A new study suggests that supernovas, massive explosions in the universe, may have triggered mass extinctions on Earth, causing up to 85% animal species annihilation, particularly marine life. These extinctions, such as the late Devonian and late Ordovician extinctions, occurred around 372 and 445 million years ago.
