Kathryn Gray, a 10-year-old girl in Canada, has become the youngest person ever to discover a supernova. With a middle name like Aurora, perhaps that isn't a surprise.
The supernova occurred in the galaxy UGC 3378 and is part of the constellation Camelopardalis. It is about 240 million light-years away. She discovered it with the help of two other amateur astronomers.
