Nova and Supernova explosions. Which happens depends on the type and size of the star.
A Nova explosion is a thermonuclear explosion occurring everywhere on the surface of an old star, in some situations multiple Nova explosions can happen over time on the same star if additional hydrogen is captured by the star.
A Supernova explosion happens only in very high mass stars that have completely consumed all the fusion fuels in their core (which now consists of a plasma of the elements nickle and iron) and the core thus burns out. Without the heat of fusion to support the outer portions of the stat, it collapses. The end result of the collapse is a "rebound explosion" that blows the star apart and leaves one of two types of stellar remnants, depending on the mass of the star: a neutron star (a compact object composed of only neutrons) or a blackhole (a deep gravitational well into which all the mass of the star disappeared).
What else can I help you with?
Possibly the most cataclysmic event associated with the death of a star is the?
For a star that is 10x or more the size of our sun? Supernova explosion, followed by the implosion of the star, forming a neutron star. For a star that is 50x or more the size of our sun? Supernova explosion followed by the implosion of the star, crushing down extremely small, forming a black hole. For a star that is 100x or more the size of our sun? Supernova explosion followed by the implosion of the star, crushing down extremely small, forming a supermassive black hole
What do you call an exploding sun?
A sun that explodes is called a supernova. This is a powerful and cataclysmic event where a star releases an immense amount of energy, leading to a bright explosion that can outshine entire galaxies for a brief period of time.
What constellation is the star of Bethlehem?
The Star of Bethlehem is traditionally associated with the Christmas star, which is thought to be an astronomical event rather than a specific star in a constellation. Some theories suggest it could have been a comet, supernova, or planetary alignment.
Does neutron star have an event horizon?
No, they do not.
Massive stars terminate in a brilliant explosion?
Massive stars end their lifecycle in a cataclysmic event known as a supernova explosion, where the outer layers are ejected into space, leaving behind a dense core such as a neutron star or black hole. This explosion releases an immense amount of energy and synthesizes heavier elements that are dispersed into the universe.

A nova event occurs if what?
A nova event occurs if hydrogen accumulates onto the surface of the star, which ignites and starts nuclear fusion at a very fast rate. It's a cataclysmic nuclear explosion in a white dwarf. This causes an instantaneous lighting up of the star.
How old is a star?
A Supernova is not a particular star. A supernova is a cataclysmic event that occurs at the end of a high mass star life. They have been occurring for billions of years, and will continue to do so for billions more. Therefore it is not possible to put an age to it.
What effect will a nova have on a star?
It will destroy it in a cataclysmic explosion.
A variable star that undergoes a cataclysmic eruption?
A good example of a variable star that undergoes cataclysmic eruptions is a type of binary star system called a recurrent nova. These stars have a white dwarf that accretes material from a companion star until it reaches a critical mass, resulting in a thermonuclear explosion on the surface. This causes a sudden increase in brightness that can be detected from Earth.
What gas is most likely to make up the star of bethleham?
The "Star of Bethlehem" mentioned in the Bible is believed to be a conjunction of planets rather than a single star. There is no specific gas composition associated with it. The bright light associated with the "Star of Bethlehem" could have been a natural astronomical event.
What do you call the death of a star?
The death of a star is called a supernova or stellar explosion. This is a catastrophic event that occurs when a star reaches the end of its life cycle and can result in the star either collapsing into a dense core (neutron star or black hole) or completely exploding.
What do you call an exploding sun?
A sun that explodes is called a supernova. This is a powerful and cataclysmic event where a star releases an immense amount of energy, leading to a bright explosion that can outshine entire galaxies for a brief period of time.
What is a death star?
The death star is known as the nemesis star AKA the death star, brown dwarf star, red dwarf star, or the sun's twin.
Is the Death Star a star?
No, the Death Star is not a star. It is a man/droid made space station.
When was Death Is a Star created?
Death Is a Star was created in 1982.
Does the Death Star really exist?
The Death Star is a fictional space station in the Star Wars universe. It does not exist in reality.
