A type II supernova, a catastrophic explosion of a star, is caused when the star collapses in on itself! In early 2012, an anonymous donor gave a mummified arm to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in Frederick, MD, USA. It is believed to have come from the 1862 Battle of Antietam, and was found and preserved by a local farmer! Keshab Swain of Odisha, India, cracked open 85 green coconuts with his elbow in just 60 seconds!
