Population III stars more than likely created the first black holes, which became the supermassive black holes at the centres of most galaxies.

They also produced the first "metals" into the new Universe.

What is the explosion of a red giant called?

The explosion of a red giant is called a supernova. It would be quite spectacular to watch! I hope this answer helps :D Technically the explosion of a Red giant is not called a Supernova as the mass of the star is not great enough. However the explosion from a Red Super Giant can be called a supernova. A normal Red giant doesn't actually explode, the core just collapses again to cause a white dwarf and the outer layers are ejected to form planetary Nebulae.


When a main-sequence star has exhausted the fuel in its core it becomes a....?

I am pretty sure it becomes a giant if I'm not mistaken.


When a main sequence star runs out of fuel it becomes a?

Either a giant or a super giant. Giants will eventually collapse on its core and have a little white dwarf left behind, but they will have the same mass and gravity as the old star. Supergiants will collapse but in an explosion, supernova, and they will either become a nuetron star or a black hole.


How many times has the sun exploded?

Never nor will it ever, our sun is too small to explode (nova or super nova) according to predominent theory in another 4 or 5 billion years it will expand into a red giant (turning earth into a cinder at the same time) then some time later as it consumes the last of its fuel become at white dwarf

Can supernova be a red giant?

Yes, a red giant star can undergo a supernova explosion at the end of its life cycle. This occurs when the star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and can no longer support itself against gravity, leading to a dramatic collapse and subsequent explosion.

Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?

No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.
