When does a type 2 supernova begin to explode?

A massive red supergiant star will eventually explode as Type II supernova. That happens when the high mass star has run out of its nuclear "fuel". A series of nuclear fusion reactions finally ends at the nucleus of iron. A massive core of iron remains and iron can't be used to produce energy by nuclear fusion. The core collapses under gravity and the energy released throws the outer layers of the star into space in a supernova explosion. This is a Type II supernova. Sometimes it's referred to as a "core collapse" supernova, for obvious reasons. A bit more detail, if needed: A "high mass star" in this context is one with a mass of at least 8 times the mass the Sun. They develop into red supergiant stars. The mass of the iron core needs to be over the "Chandrasekhar mass" of about 1.4 times the Sun's mass. A core of that mass is unable to resist gravitational collapse. Depending on the mass of the iron core, collapse may stop at a "neutron star". Otherwise there is a complete collapse to a "black hole". See "Sources and related links", below.
