Actually before the rise of visible light there is a surge in neutrinos that can give a warning of a super-nova by as much as five days.
Then comes the light flash in all forms of electromagnetic radiation (including visible light).

∙ 14y agoWell, yes, assuming you can see the galaxy where the supernova is coming from itself. And even if you can, you'd see a huge flash of brief light burst from the galaxy.

∙ 12y agoYes, since they shine very brightly. From our own galaxy, supernovae have been seen in other galaxies that are many millions of light years away.

Why can you see a supernova explosion?
Because they are massive explosions that can outshine a whole galaxy.
Why won't our Sun end in a Supernova explosion?
Because it does not have enough mass. See related questions.
Why would you not see a supernova explosion?
Because the nearest star to us is a couple hundred light years away. This means it will take a couple hundred years for the light given off by that star to reach us. Samething goes for a super nova. So right now a super nova is probably happening somewhere and we wont know about it for a long long time. If our sun went super nova we would have 8 minutes until we would know about it and then we would all be dead. No, the nearest star to us is 4-and-a-bit light years away (the alpha Centauri system) but alpha centauri is very similar to the Sun and thus not massive enough to become a supernova. If you were looking at the sky and a star went supernova, you most definitely would see it!
The explosion of a very massive star is called what?
well what you gotta do is go home a smoke weed
A what is produced when the outer core of a star explodes after the core collapses?
The process of the stellar explosion is called a "nova", or if powerful enough, a "supernova". The outer layers of gas are blown away into space, and this shell of fleeing gas is sometimes called a "supernova remnant", or more generally, a "nebula". For example, the Crab Nebula is the gas cloud left over after a supernova explosion which was brilliantly visible here on Earth in the year 1054.

Does gold come from space?
Every element heavier than iron was created in a supernova explosion. Gold, Platinum, and Palladium were elements created by supernova explosions.
Which refers to the stellar explosion that is more energetic than a nova?
A supernova. See related question.
Why won't our Sun end in a Supernova explosion?
Because it does not have enough mass. See related questions.
If a supernova happens would you see it from earth?
It depends how far it is.Super nova's are VERY big.you would probably not see it but they are big.There were no close super nova's near earth.They were all at the other side of the galaxy or somewhere in another galaxy.
What is the differences between super nova and neutron star?
A supernova is when a massive star explodes. A neutron star is what can be formed after a supernova explosion. See related questions
A star explosion which increases the star's luminosity to 1000 times that of a nova?
A Supernova. See related question

Can you see stars that are not from the milky way?
They can be seen in telescopes. At least three galaxies can be seen with the naked eye, but individual stars are normally too faint to be seen. However, in the case of a supernova explosion in a nearby galaxy, it could be seen with the naked eye, too.

What is Nova?
A nova is a cataclysmic nuclear explosion caused by the accretion of hydrogen onto the surface of a white dwarf star [See Link]Not to be confused with a supernova [See link]
What kind of galaxy is Betelgeuse in?
Our own galaxy, the Milky Way. In general, most stars that have a proper name (as opposed to just a catalog number), and definitely all stars you can see with the naked eye (except for an occasional supernova) are part of our own galaxy.
