Wikipedia definition
2. HypernovaHypernova (pl. hypernovae) refers to a type of supernova explosion with an energy of over 100 supernovae; such explosions are believed to be the origin of long-duration gamma-ray bursts. The radiation output of a nearby hypernova could likely destroy life on Earth; however, no hypergiant is located close enough to Earth to pose a threat.
