What is the heaviest element that a star can produce through fusion before going supernova?
The heaviest element that can be produced prior to supernova is Iron (Fe).
What occurs before a supernova explosion?
Nuclear fusion stops and the star is no longer capable of transformming LIGHTER elements into HEAVIER. elements. At this point GRAVITY looses out and PRESSURE wins out thereby causing the supernova explosion. But bear in mind, there is a HUGE difference between an ordinary star going NOVA and a SUPERNOVA.
What comes before a cell?
A supernova comes before a neutron star. After an aging star undergo supernova explosion, the remaining core of the star becomes a neutron star or a black hole, depending on its mass.
The explosion of a very massive star is called what?
well what you gotta do is go home a smoke weed
Why is platinum so rare?
Platinium is created within the massive explosion of a supernova. It is one of the last things to be produced when a giant star goes supernova, therefore not a lot of it can be produced in time before the star blasts itself apart.
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.
How big does a supernova gets before it explodes?
A supernova *is* the explosion. A super nova is caused by one of a few stellar events: A) Sudden collapse of a star, which causes massive carbon fusion. B) The gradual accumulation of material by an already collapsed star until the mass is enough to compress the core of the star and start fusion of the element carbon (normal stars fuse hydrogen)
Can a black hole stop a supernova?
A black hole is often the RESULT of a supernova explosion. When a massive star dies, the star explodes. The core of the star is crushed, while the outer layers of the star are blown away into space. This explosion is a nova or supernova. The early astronomers, seeing a burst of light where no star had ever been seen before, called them "nova stellarum", or "new star". When the core of the star is crushed by the explosion, the result is a neutron star or a black hole, depending on how densely the core is collapsed.
Why doesn't proxima centauri or bellatrix go through a supernova explosion?
Only massive stars, white and blue giants, can go supernova. Proxima centauri is a red dwarf, far to small to produce a supenova. Bellatix may be large enough to produce a supernova, but is just now leaving the main sequence, so it will be a few million years before it dies.
Is there such thing as a ultranova stellar star explosion and is there is there such thing as a ultra giant star?
I suppose that there are, now, since Google caches everything. However, these terms have not been used before, and provide no more significant information than "supernova".
How is Tungsten formed?
Tungsten is an element - this means that most of the atoms that make up a piece of tungsten were here before the Earth was formed. Most of them were probably created in stars, and released in supernova explosions.
Is uranium 238 a natural element?
yes, it was formed in supernova explosions that occurred before the formation of the solar system
