When a star 'blows up' what is this phenomenon called?

Nova or Supernova. The word "nova" means new, because the star's increase in brightness caused it to be seen for the first time.

A supernova occurs when a really massive star (this will never happen to the Sun; it's too small) collapses in on itself.
