Hubble Trivia: 14) Hubble observed what kind of explosion created by two neutron stars merging?

A binary system merged, resulting in a kilonova explosion that emitted gravitational waves. These waves were detected by ground-based detectors, not Hubble. Once the event was identified, Hubble was directed to the galaxy, capturing the light from the kilonova.
