Once a high mass star goes supernova, it doesn't become any other type of star - it becomes a pile of enormously dense stellar ash, or if it was big enough to begin with, it becomes a black hole.

It will goes super in heat which mostly going to become supernova and it grows hotter by seconds then it becomes a black hole with extreme heat energy.


What will happen to earth when Belelgeuse goes supernova?

when betelguese goes supernova nothing will happen directly to us, but the star will become as bright as the moon in the night sky, and a black hole may form at the site


What type of objects do stars end their life as?

They will end up as neutron stars or even black holes. Usually they will first explode as a supernova (of type1a).


Is there iron in stars?

Yes, iron is present in stars. Iron is formed in the cores of stars through nuclear fusion processes and is an important element in the life cycle of stars. When a star reaches the end of its life and goes supernova, iron is released into space, where it can be recycled into new stars and planets.


Do all exploding stars create a supernova?

When a star explodes and destroys itself, leaving only a dense core behind, it is called a Supernova. The only other option is when a star goes nova, where only the outer body of the star explodes, but the stellar remnant remains in place.


Why some massive stars become neutron stars and other black holes?

It depends on the mass of the star and how much of the star actually goes into the remnant.Stars between 10 and 25 times the mass of the sun form neutron stars. Stars over 40 solar masses form black holes. Stars between 25 and 40 solar masses can form either depending on how much of the star is blown away during the supernova and how much falls back into the collapsing core.


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 long does it take after a star goes supernova does it become a black hole?

The supernova stage itself lasts only a few days or weeks. Once the star runs out of fuel, the collapse into a neutron star or black hole (depending on the remaining mass) should be quite sudden - whatever it takes for matter to fall toward the center.

How does the universe recyle matter through stars and the interstellar medium?

It is mainly in supernova explosions that part of the matter of the star - NOT all of it - goes back into space; as a result, some of it eventually ends up in new solar systems, such as our Solar System. The result of this is that our Solar System has some heavy elements, which were not present when the Universe began. Please note that this "recycling" can't go on forever. Part of the mass stays in the star remainders; a supernova may collapse into a neutron star or a black hole. Also, the matter that goes out into space has more heavy elements than the original mass of the star that went supernova. In other words, it contains less hydrogen, which is used as fuel for stars.


Why do people sometimes confuse meteors with shooting stars?

Shooting stars are meteors, however some people may believe that a shooting star is like a falling star. However stars are like our sun, remember so they cannot fall. When a star dies it will go supernova (explode). The nearest star to us is Beetle-juice, which will go supernova any day now to the next million years. When it goes supernova it will look like another sun in the sky.
