No. A neutron star is left behind after a supernova. However, some gamma ray bursts may result from a collision between neutron stars.

The explosion of a very massive star is called what?
well what you gotta do is go home a smoke weed
What is the difference between a nova a supernova and a neutron star?
A nova is a star which has a close companion star, and draws stellar material off of it's companion, occasionally flaring up very brightly in the process. A supernova is a massive and hot star to begin with, that tends to go through it's life cycle at high speed, and ending it's life in a cataclysmic explosion. Supernova remnants then collapse into a neutron star - a spinning, very hot pile of stellar ash, so dense that a teaspoonful of it would weigh thousands of tons. If the collapsed supernova star was big enough, it's gravity upon collapse is so intense than not even light can escape from it, and it becomes what is called a "Black Hole".
Which star has the greatest probability of producing a supernova explosion?
There is no way of knowing which star will next go "supernova".However, closer to home, Betelgeuse is the most likely to produce a supernova - within humanities lifetime.
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.
What kind of star is most likely to become a white-dwarf supernova?
A supernova is a star that has exploded into dust and gas. A white-dwarf is a small, hot, dense star nearing the end of its life, that did not have enough mass to go supernova. So the answer is "none".
Can only giant stars become black holes?
The basic requisite is that enough mass gets together. This can happen with a large star if, after it explodes as a supernova, enough residual mass remains to go beyond the limit of a white dwarf, and of a neutron star. Yet there is also another possibility: a star may end up first as a white dwarf or as a neutron star, but it may eventually receive enough infalling matter to become a black hole.The basic requisite is that enough mass gets together.

What happens to a star when it runs out of fuel?
To start from the beginning, a stars "fuel" is initially H, or hydrogen the lightest element. A star is basically a nuclear reactor and fuses the H molecules together to form He or helium (this process is called fusion) depending on the size of the star, it can fuse heavier and heavier elements and if you have a really big star it will make iron from fusion or a little star will burn out extremely slowly and make a brown dwarf. A big star could do a lot of things. It could go supernova and eventually form a black hole or it could become a quasar, to a few other things.

When will the sun be supernova?
Never. A star must be about 10 times the mass of the sun or more to go supernova.

What is the ''life'' cycle of stars?
Stars form from dust and gas known as stellar nebula. Then the star (depending on its type) will go on to live out its life. In its dying stage it either turns into a red giant or a red super giant. Then the star will either go through a planetary nebula or will go supernova. Afterwards the star will either turn into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.

What do you call a dying star that explodes in a brilliant flash of light?
A supernova (massive explosion triggered by a number of different fashions) causes the "brilliant flash of light", this then results in a status change of the star which can become a neutron star or black hole (through gravitational collapse) or alternatively when a white dwarf accumulates enough mass it can undergo a runaway nuclear fission event which cause it to go supernova.
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).
