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".

well what you gotta do is go home a smoke weed
If a star begins its evolution with a mass ten times that of the sun but finishes with a mass 2 times that of the sun what type of object does it form?
The star would end its evolution as a neutron star. This is because during its evolution, the star would go through stages of fusion until it exhausts its fuel and undergoes a supernova explosion, leaving behind a dense core that collapses into a neutron star due to gravitational forces.
Will Sirius become a supernova?
No, Sirius will not become a supernova. It is a relatively young star compared to those that typically go supernova, and its mass is not sufficient to trigger such an explosive event. Sirius is expected to eventually evolve into a white dwarf.
What happens to a massive star after it runs out of fuel?
When a massive star runs out of fuel, it undergoes a supernova explosion. The core of the star collapses under gravity, leading to the formation of a neutron star or black hole, depending on the final mass of the star. The outer layers of the star are expelled into space, enriching the surrounding environment with heavy elements.
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.

A star 30 times larger than the sun will turn into?
A star 30 times larger than the sun will likely turn into a red supergiant as it exhausts its nuclear fuel and undergoes stellar evolution. Eventually, it may end its life in a spectacular supernova explosion, leaving behind either a neutron star or a black hole depending on its mass.

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.
Is Antares a supernova yet?
It's highly unlikely. Antares is not likely to go supernova for at least a million years. However, because of it's distance from us - 600 light years, it may have already gone supernova and we just haven't seen it yet.
Will Sirius become a supernova?
No, Sirius will not become a supernova. It is a relatively young star compared to those that typically go supernova, and its mass is not sufficient to trigger such an explosive event. Sirius is expected to eventually evolve into a white dwarf.
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 the life cycle of the 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.
