Supernova

"If we didn't have the right calculations, we'd fly right into a star, or bounce too close to a supernova, and that would end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?"

- Han Solo to Luke Skywalker

A supernova was a celestial phenomenon involving the explosion of a star. When going supernova, a star would burn the other celestial bodies in its vicinity to cinders. "Going supernova" was a common idiom for "exploding."
