A supernova. The process involves the nuclear fires being unable to support the mass of the star and the resulting collapse triggering a countering explosion. The end result could be a white or red dwarf, a neutron star (also called a pulsar), or a black hole. It depends on the original mass and speed of collapse.

∙ 12y agoAbout a thousand years ago, a monk who was intermittently observing the skies noticed a star that he had never seen before. He called it a "New Star", or (since he spoke Latin) a "Nova Stellarum".
Within the last couple of hundred years, astronomers have been able to find that the monk's "new star" was actually an OLD star, very dim, that nobody had ever noticed before - until it blew up. Now with our ultra-powerful telescopes that can examine distant galaxies, we find a "nova" or a "super-nova" every few years or so. It's rare for one to be visible with the naked eye, but even that happens a couple of times per century.

Will the sun explode?
No. The sun will run out of hydrogen in about 5 billion years, after which it will become a red giant. It will later lose its outer layers and die, but it will not explode.
What color is the red giant that is in space?
A red giant star is a dying star that is in the last stages of stellar evolution. Red giant stars are red in color.
How long until the sun Explodes?
Our sun does not have the mass to 'explode'. It will expand to a 'red giant' in about 5 billion years the sun will explode around 10 billion years.
When will your sun turn into a red giant?
The Sun will turn into a red giant when it starts to explode. This would only be in 4.6 billion years. That's a long time, but it's not forever.
Why did the sun get bigger?
The sun is getting bigger because it is becoming to the stage where it is growing into a red giant.
A dying giant star can suddenly explode becoming?
i dont understand your question but this might help when a star for example the sun its in its middle stages of life like in 10,000,000 years it will become a red giantand then become a white drawf or it become some other things but i dont think the stars wil actually blow up. hopefully this awnsers your question
How long can the sun last without exploding?
The sun cannot explode. It will last for about 5 billion years before becoming a red giant.
What star is beginning to die a star white dwarft red giant stable star or galaxy?
Star - not dying White-dwarf, dying Red-Giant, near the end but will collapse or explode in a while Stable star - haven't heard that term, but doesn't sound like it Galaxy - a collection of stars
Does a red giant sometimes explode?
yes
The explosion of a dying giant or supergiant?
supernova
Why giant pandas are in dangered?
Giant pandas are in danger because they are dying and they are getting shot
What is the explosion of is dying giant or super giant star?
The most spectacular explosions are called supernova.
What is the explosion of a Dying giant or super-giant star?
The most spectacular explosions are called supernova.
What what is the explosion of a dying giant or super giant star?
The most spectacular explosions are called supernova.
What will the sun eventually turn into?
It will turn into a giant star, explode, and turn into a nebula.
Why is the giant weta becoming extinct?
something
What is the space in space called after a star explode?
well it depends on the star. not all stars explode. small to medium sized stars just go into a planetary nebula after they swell up to a red giant then the bigger stars do explode, they have a super nova after the swell up into a super giant. but dont worry i star will not explode... its a really small star. --- nichole brooks :)
