A Hypernova (type 1c Supernova) refers to an immensely large star that explodes at the end of its lifespan.
It relates to the supernova of the most massive stars, the hypergiants which have masses of between 100 and 300 solar masses.
They are rare, and have the potential to destroy any life within it's radiation output. Luckily, no hypergiant is close enough to Earth to cause us any problems.

What do red giants become after they run out of fuel?
They explode as a supernova/hypernova to form a planetary nebula/black hole.
Does a meganova exist?
No, at least, it is not a common astronomical term. A supernova is a gigantic star explosion; the most energetic once have recently been called hypernova.
Will Antares the star hyper nova?
No. Antares is 883 times the diameter of the sun, which makes it one of the largest stars by the amount of space it takes up. But, Antares is only 15 times the weight of our sun. A star has to be somewhere around 100-300 times heavier to go hypernova. So while it's quite large, unfortunately (or fortunately since it is so close to Earth) it isn't dense enough to go hypernova.
High mass star death?
Stars like R136a1, the most massive star known, go hypernova, but fail to leave behind even a black hole. A supernova remnant on steroids would be what is left. Stars like VY Canis Majoris, which are less massive, also conclude their lives with a hypernova, but produce a black hole, which fires intense gamma ray bursts. We could be in the gun barrel of WR104, which has an axis which seems to point right towards us.
What happens to very massive stars when they die?
Smaller stars like our own expand into a red giant and then eventually collapse into a white dwarf, the more larger stars like a bright giant star expand into a hyper giant or a super giant. Super giant stars can go supernova and collapse into a neutron star, a white dwarf, or a black hole. The hyper giant stars go hypernova and make a gamma ray that eventually ends into a black hole.
How big can hypernova get?
There is no such thing as a "hypernova". Making up words does not make something real.
How often is a hypernova created?
never
What is the action replay code for the hypernova sword in dragon quest 9?
There is no single code for hypernova blade to be got but there is a all weapon X99 code
What forms a black hole?
When a massive star dies, gravity forces it to fall in on itself, and the result is a gigantic explosion called a hypernova. The leftover of a hypernova is a black hole.
What kind of spatial explosion is the advanced form of a supernova?
Hypernova
What is an ultra mega supernova?
It's called a hypernova [See related]
Is it possible for the existence of a more powerful version of the Hypernova an Ultranova?
That is only currently possible if several if more than 1000 supernovas crashed dead right into each other. But there is no single thing that has the power of a hypernova.
How big will the hypernova be when vy canis majoris explodes?
A couple of light-years.
What is bigger than a supernova?
A hypernova [See related question]
What is the temperature of hypernova?
It is said that a hypernova can release around 100 times more energy than a supernova. Supernova's will reach temperatures of 100 billion degrees centigrade, and will release more energy in 15 seconds than our sun does in it's entire lifetime!
What is the hottest natural thing?
Answer: the hottest natural things the KALDERO Answer: I believe that would be a hypernova - a special kind of supernova.
What do red giants become after they run out of fuel?
They explode as a supernova/hypernova to form a planetary nebula/black hole.
