New telescopes are sampling the night sky with unprecedented sensitivity across the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio wavelengths to the X-rays.

Come on out to hear Raffaella review some very recent developments in the field that have resulted from the capability to acquire a true panchromatic view of the most extreme stellar deaths in nature.
