What is a Supernova? 🌟
A supernova is the explosive death of a star, and it's one of the mightiest displays of the universe's power. This spectacular event is driven by different astronomical circumstances, often leading to a stunning burst of dazzling light and energy visible across millions of light-years.
The Process of a Supernova Explosion
As a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel, some of its mass flows into its core. Eventually, the core is so heavy that it can't withstand its own gravitational force. The core collapses resulting in a massive explosion called a supernova, pushing the outer layers of the star into space.
Wonders of the Universe
Unveiling the mysteries surrounding supernovae allows us to understand more about the evolution of our universe. Their remnants can lead to the creation of neutron stars, black holes, and new star formations in space.
