What happens when the outer core of a star explodes after the core collapses?
Its blown into interstellar space - to enrich and mix with the gasses already out there.
What happens when a Red Giant explodes?
When a Red Giant explodes, it undergoes a supernova event, where the star releases a tremendous amount of energy in a short period. This explosion can produce heavy elements and spread them into space, enriching the surrounding region with these elements. The core of the star can collapse into a neutron star or black hole, depending on its mass.
Are nuclear weapons tested in space?
It is possible to test a nuclear weapon in space, but it is banned. Nuclear weapons have been exploded in space. In 1962 starfish prime test exploded a 1.4 megaton bomb (~100 times bigger than the Hiroshima bomb) was detonated 400 km over the central pacific. The electromagmetic pulse (called an EMP) damaged communications and electronics from Hawaii to New Zealand (a distance of 7000 km). If this was done today it would cause billions of dollars in damages by wiping out computer systems and satellites over an area of millions of square kilometers. The gamma energy of a nuclear weapon is normally turned into heat when exploded in the atmosphere but in space there is no atmosphere to heat up so all the gamma energy is turned into an EMP that fries electronics. Just one bomb exploded over the United states at 500 km would destroy all computers and electronics that were turned on at the time in the entire country. Military electronics are hardened against this.
Can you blow up a nuke in space?
It's possible, though it's (probably... see below) prohibited by both the Outer Space Treaty and the Partial Test Ban Treaty of 1963. All countries known to possess nuclear weapons capability, with the exception of North Korea, have ratified at least one of these (North Korea has signed, but not ratified, the Outer Space Treaty).Whether or not a non-weapon nuclear explosion (for example: using a nuclear device as a sort of improved dynamite for, say, mining purposes) would violate the Outer Space Treaty is an interesting legal question, since the treaty expressly refers to nuclear weapons and goes on to say that the use of any equipment or facility necessary for peaceful exploration shall not be prohibited. This could potentially eventually become important.
What happened in space in the 1980s?
Space Shuttle Challenger explodes (January 28, 1986) and Halley's comet was visible (perihelion February 9, 1980).
What happens when the outer core of a star explodes after the core collapses?

What happens with the white dwarf in a type 1a supernova?
The white dwarf collapses under its own gravity. This starts very rapid nuclear fusion reactions. It explodes as a supernova and "stuff" is scattered into space. Essentially nothing of the white dwarf, as an object, remains.
What is the difference between a bomb and an nuclear bomb?
Basically, a conventional bomb uses a chemical explosive as the source of its destructive power. A nuclear weapon uses nuclear material to create an explosion. A nuclear explosion is much larger, and also emits ionizing radiation. A chemical weapon does not emit any radiation. A nuclear weapon's yield is measured in Kilotons (thousand tons). In very simplified terms, this means that a nuclear weapon with a 475 kiloton yield produces an explosion comparable to 475,000 tons of TNT (TNT is a chemical explosive). That's A LOT of TNT and it would take up a bit of space. A nuclear weapon with this yield may only be a few feet long and a foot wide, and the actual nuclear material may be the size of a grapefruit.
Do Kenya agree with putting weapon on space?
They don't have the technology to put a weapon in space.
Is there nuclear waste in space?
Yes, there is nuclear waste in space.
What happens when a Red Giant explodes?

This explosion can produce heavy elements and spread them into space, enriching the surrounding region with these elements. The core of the star can collapse into a neutron star or black hole, depending on its mass.
What is the nuclear test ban treaty?
Prohibits nuclear weapon test explosions and any other nuclear explosions in three environments: in the atmosphere, in outer space and underwater, but does not prohibit underground nuclear explosions

What is the best weapon in Dead Space?
The overall best weapon is the Plasma Cutter. This is the first weapon you will acquire in the game.
What happens when a single high mass star explodes?
When a single high mass star explodes, it undergoes a supernova event. The core collapses inwards and then rebounds explosively, sending out a shockwave that ejects the outer layers of the star into space. This explosion can outshine an entire galaxy for a short period of time.
Have they ever blown up a bomb in outer space?
Yes. The U.S. Air Force conducted several nuclear weapon tests in space back in the late 1950s and early '60s. There were some spectacular "atomic fireworks" visible from Honolulu. There have been none in the last 45 years or so, since the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty banned nuclear weapons tests except in sealed underground bunkers.
Did Isaac die at the end of dead space 2?
No, that chick in the space ship busts through the roof to save him before the sprawl explodes.
