Why is this star bigger?

[Destiny_Corrupted]

Couple of years ago we had a star that had a massive -Borat voice- romance explosion. That was really bright.

Caroline's star

Oï ! I recently looked a bit about the previous events that hapenned in New Eden before I was even able to play any games, and one got my attention : the Caroline’s star. From what I know, a star deep inside Jove Space exploded, or transformed in a Super Nova, but I would like to know : what really happenned in the game ? Does this was just a RP announcement from The Scope, or does it had an impact ? Thanks =)
