THE+SUPERNOVA

The dying blaze of glory stars that are 10 times bigger are known as the supernovas. Most of their early life all larger stars have the same experiences as that of smaller stars. But, because of how bigthey are, larger stars tend to grow old much faster then the smaller ones. Moving into red giants that become several hundred times larger than the size of the sun, they go through a series of uncontrolled nuclear reactions at the middle of them. Eventually this leads to a nuclear eruption of the star and it will becomes a supernova.



The erupting stars, as supernovas usually show an amazing brightness even growing billions of times brighter than it was before the eruption. These eruptions might last for weeks or months. The outside layer of the star shatter and are thrown off and they will become an object like the Crab nebula. From time to time a star will completely explode itself to bits making a supernova. The stars core is left causing what is known as a neutron star. These can be detected by pulsars which are radio astronomers that emit flashes of radio waves while the rapidly spin. Black holes are formed when the core of an exploding star is so compressed that its gravity becomes strong enough to pull everything within its range, including light, into it. When this happens all matter falling into the hole is sucked into oblivion.
