Unlikely. it has been proposed to explain away the Star. Some stars are unstable and explode in this way with a bright blaze. However, historical records do not indicate a supernova at this time.

∙ 13y agoA supernova is when a star that starts fusing elements too quickly and explodes. Generally the core of the supernova is crushed into a black hole or a neutron star, while the middle and outer layers of the star are blasted back out into space, where they may (millions of years later) come together with other gas and dust to condense into a new star with new planets. For example, we know that every atom of our Earth, including every atom of our bodies (except perhaps some of the hydrogen atoms), has already been through the furnace of the star.
But don't worry about our sun; our Sun is too small to become a supernova.A supergiant explodes and THEN turns into a supernova.

See related question for details of a supernova.

∙ 11y agoYes, supernovas are exploding stars. And too, you might want to learn to differentiate between NOVA, SUPERNOVA, TYPE 1A SUPERNOVA and HYPERNOVA.

∙ 13y agoYes, a supernova is a star that is going through the process of becoming a black hole.

Is a supernova massive?
A supernova can be massive but some aren't. Every supernova is a dieing star. Supernovae are exploding stars. They represent the very final stages of evolution for some stars. Supernovae, as celestial events, are huge releases of tremendous energy, as the star ceases to exist, with about 1020 times as much energy produced in the supernova explosion as our Sun releases every second.
Can a star lose its planets?
Yes. Strong centers of gravity can rip a star apart. The strongest known centers of gravity are black holes, but other much more massive stars can destroy smaller stars if they get too close to one another. Humans do not currently have any technologies that can destroy a star (even excusing the problem of getting the device to the star in question).
Does carbon in your body come from the core of a red giant star?
No, but it DID come from an exploding supernova star! Every atom heavier than lithium has been created in the cores of stars. And if it isn't still in the star, then the star must have exploded to release it.
Where is the exploding star in the solar system?
we do not have an exploding star in our solar system.
What is the Vela Supernova?
Well a supernova is the explosions or death of a star, so the Vela supernova is probably the supernova of the star vela!
What is another name for an exploding star?
A nova or a supernova
What is the name for a exploding star?
That's called a supernova.
What is the exploding star the most elements came from called?
supernova
What do you call an exploding sun?
An exploding star is called a supernova [See related question] About our Sun exploding [See related question]
What is a name for a exploding star?
when a star is at the end of its life(depending on mass) a star will sponaniously explode into a supernova. or it will collapse into a black hole.

What are exploding stars?
Dangerous. Novas, or supernovas. Tycho Brahe coined the phrase "nova stellarum" when a "new star" appeared in the night sky. We now know that he was observing a supernova, the death throes of a very massive star.
What term is applied to stars that explode?
Term used for an exploding star is 'supernova' nova means explosion and supernova means a super explosion of a very big thing such as star.
What is a guest star was that seen exploding over China in the year 1054?
A "guest" star is the name for the original star, before it exploded as a Supernova. Because the Supernova is the explosion and has no real physical relation to the Star, it is termed "guest" star.
Can a planet survive a supernova if it is on the far side of a star binary to the exploding star?
It could. it depends on the condidtion. Yes it could but after the sun goes supernova it has a chance of turning into a black hole.
Is a supernova bigger than earth?
Much bigger. Earth is a relatively small planet, much smaller than even a dwarf star. A supernova is a very large star exploding.
Can a supernova create other galaxies?
No. A supernova is only a single exploding star and only the mass of one large star is involved. A galaxy is billions of times more massive than even the largest star.
