Is the nova the brightest star of all?
Depending on its distance from Earth, a nova may not outshine other bright stars in the sky.A nova is the smaller of the stellar upheavals that can (temporarily) increase the brightness of a star. It occurs when gas accretes on the surface of a white dwarf.A supernova is the general destruction of a star when its outer layers suffer gravitational collapse and then are blasted out into space. These cataclysmic events may make nearby supernovae the brightest objects in the sky, brighter even than the planets Venus and Mercury. But the brightness will fade rapidly over time.
Why do planets go into super nova?
a super nova is not something that anything goes into. A SUPER NOVA is a part of a stars life cycle when it explodes. THEN all the dust and chips of the star reunite in a super nova remnent forming a COMPLETELY NEW STAR.

How did the TV Show Nova get its name?
The name "Nova" is used in two senses, both because Nova is a science program. Nova means "new" in its original sense and was later adopted by astronomers to describe a bright, exploding star.
Has there ever been a record of a star that popped in the sky as a new star?
Yes, this has happened several times. However, it isn't a NEW star, but an old one dying. During the middle ages, some observers would rarely observe a star, sometimes quite bright, appear where no star had been seen before. They called this a "nova stellarum", or "new star". Typically, the "nova stellarum" would be visible for several weeks and would then fade from view. In one case, the "new star" was so bright as to be visible during the day! We now know that this "nova" wasn't a NEW star; it was a titanic explosion of an old star that had been too dim to be visible, blowing itself apart.

Was the Christmas star really a star?
There is a lot of speculation about this; some believe it may have been a Nova star or Supernova; others favour the theory that it was a planetary alignment which might have appeared like a very bright star. Another possibility was that it was actually a comet.There is no firm evidence for any of these theories.
Why did early astronomers call a suddenly glowing star a nova?
Nova is the Latin word for "new" and Latin was the language of early modern astronomy, as of all science in medieval and Renaissance Europe. A suddenly glowing star in the night sky would be considered a "new star" or "stella nova." This eventually was shortened to "nova."
