∙ 15y agoDepending on the mass of the original star, scientists expect most supernovas to explode leaving behind a large nebula cloud of ejected gas and dust, and either a neutron star or a black hole.

∙ 12y agoDepending on the original mass of the star, a supernova remnant may contain either a black hole or a neutron star. In many cases, the neutron star will be spinning quite rapidly, and depending on what sort of mass remains in the system, the mass falling onto the neutron star may radiate rapid pulses of X-rays. We would call this a "pulsar".

Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?
No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.
Can supernova be a red giant?
A red giant can become a supernova.
Will Sirius become a supernova?
Sirius A does not have enough mass to become a supernova. It will end it's life as a white dwarf.
The onset of iron fusion causes a star to become a?
A supernova
If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter the core will most likely become a what?
If sufficient mass remains after the supernova explosion, it will become a black hole.

Can supernova be a red giant?
A red giant can become a supernova.
Will Sirius become a supernova?
Sirius A does not have enough mass to become a supernova. It will end it's life as a white dwarf.
Will Sirius b become a supernova?
No. It's a white dwarf, meaning that it has no more fuel left for such things.
Could a supernova on Jupiter cause the earth to be pushed off it axis?
Only a very, very few stars have mass enough to become supernova. Jupiter is a planet not a star. It is far to small to become a star, let alone a supernova.
Why do some stars become red giants and others become supernova?

A supernova
If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter the core will most likely become a what?
If sufficient mass remains after the supernova explosion, it will become a black hole.
Why do all stars end in a supernova?
Oops! Not all stars end up as a supernova. To become a Type 2 supernova, the star has to be between 8 and 50 times larger than the Sun.
Will the sun turn into a super nova?
No. It does not have enough mass to become a supernova.
What is the definition for supernova in science?
Nova (plural novae) means "new" in Latin, The prefix "super-" distinguishes supernova from ordinary nova.
Why is the sun going to kill us?
Because in about 5 billion years, the sun will die and become a giant or supergiant and become a supernova and since we are close to the sun, the supernova could destroy the planets that are orbiting the sun.
