foe

foe
   an informal unit of energy used by astrophysicists to express the energy released by supernovas. One foe equals 1051 ergs or 1044 joules. This is comparable to the amount of energy released by a normal star over its entire lifetime, but in a supernova a foe of energy can be released in a matter of seconds. The word "foe" is an acronym for [10 to the] fifty-one ergs.
