While you were getting high, astronomers made Oasis' "Champagne Supernova" an actual thing

When Oasis debuted its 1996 single "Champagne Supernova," there was much debate over the song's strange lyrical imagery—and specifically, over what the hell a "champagne supernova" is supposed to be. Noel Gallagher himself has often claimed that even he doesn't know, that it's more about emotion anyway, and that also you're a tosser. But now, thanks to University of Oklahoma astronomy and physics professor David Branch, the "champagne supernova" has some factual scientific grounding, so shut up: Branch took the name that once only applied to special Britpop feelings and elaborate drug cocktails and gave it to a recently discovered, mysterious type of star explosion.
