   Jan 4, 2021 · A black hole happens when all of that material that makes up the core of an exploded star collapses into an infinitely small point. So you can think of taking 10 times the mass of our sun and squishing it into a period at the end of a sentence, but even smaller than that.

   What happens if a star explodes?

   • The result is a type Ia supernova explosion. Just as people do, stars have a finite life. Born in dusty gas clouds of a galaxy’s spiral arms, stars fuse hydrogen into heavier elements during their energy-producing lifetimes. For stars, mass translates into destiny. The smallest can glow like embers for trillions of years.

   What happens if a supernova explodes?

   • When researchers simulate supernova blasts with computers, as a massive star dies and collapses, the main shock wave often stalls out and the star fails to shatter. The latest findings strongly suggest the exploding star literally sloshed around, re-energizing the stalled shock wave and allowing the star to finally blast off its outer layers.

   What do you like most about exploding stars?

   • CAITY: That is one of my favorite things about exploding stars is that there's so much energy involved. They're some of the most violent and energetic events in the universe. And this energy from the explosion can fuse iron and elements that are even heavier than that, so we get gold and silver all the way up to uranium.

   What happens if a star collapsing?

   • Sound waves in collapsing stars may produce supernova explosions. A supernova detonates in a spiral galaxy in this illustration. These titanic explosions create and distribute most of the elements, stir up galactic gas and dust, and give astronomers beacons that shine across billions of light-years.

   How did a dwarf star explode?

   • After ignition, a narrow front of nuclear flame expanded through the star, leaving behind a 10-billion-degree ash bubble. When this bubble broke through the dwarf’s crust, less than 10 percent of the star’s mass had been fused — too little to disrupt the dwarf or produce a strong explosion. “It looked like it might be a dud,” Lamb recalls.

   What happens when a supernova hits a star?

   • The collision compresses all of the unfused surface material, which explodes and rips the star apart. The model, called “gravitationally confined detonation,” is the most complete description of a type Ia supernova to date — and the only one in which a full-scale detonation naturally occurs.
