When a star is destroyed, it typically undergoes a dramatic end-of-life process, such as a supernova explosion for massive stars or a gradual shedding of outer layers for smaller stars, leading to the formation of white dwarfs. During a supernova, the core collapses, and the outer layers are expelled into space, enriching the surrounding medium with heavy elements. This material can then contribute to the formation of new stars and planets. The remnants of the star, like neutron stars or black holes, can also exist, influencing their cosmic environment.
