What would happen if a super nova hit earth?
A supernova is an exploding star. The Earth would be instantly incinerated, of course. There is approximately zero chance this will ever happen, though. If there was a supernova near Earth ... it would depend on how near. Betelgeuse is a good candidate for a supernova "soon" (within the next million years or so). Scientists who have modeled supernova explosions don't expect it will have much of an impact. If a star nearer than Betelgeuse were to go supernova, then it might be more serious.
What is the lifecycle of betelgeuse the star?
Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star currently in the late stages of its life. It is expected to explode as a supernova in the future, likely within the next 100,000 years. After the supernova event, it will leave behind either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on its initial mass.
Why do planets go into super nova?
a super nova is not something that anything goes into. A SUPER NOVA is a part of a stars life cycle when it explodes. THEN all the dust and chips of the star reunite in a super nova remnent forming a COMPLETELY NEW STAR.
How big is a supernova star compared to your sun?
A supernova is much larger and brighter than a regular, stable star like our sun. During a supernova event, the star can briefly outshine an entire galaxy before fading away. The process of a supernova represents the violent death of a massive star.
Is Antares a supernova yet?
It's highly unlikely. Antares is not likely to go supernova for at least a million years. However, because of it's distance from us - 600 light years, it may have already gone supernova and we just haven't seen it yet.
When will the sun be supernova?
Never. A star must be about 10 times the mass of the sun or more to go supernova.
Which star has the greatest probability of producing a supernova explosion?
There is no way of knowing which star will next go "supernova".However, closer to home, Betelgeuse is the most likely to produce a supernova - within humanities lifetime.
The explosion of a very massive star is called what?
well what you gotta do is go home a smoke weed
When was Rock Star Supernova created?
Rock Star Supernova was created in 2006.
Will a very large star go through several supernova explosions in its lifetime?
A star will become a supernova only once.However, a white dwarf can have multiple novaeruptions.See related questions
When will a star go supernova?
Currently, there is no real way of knowing when a star will go supernova within a few thousand to million years. There are signs, that a star will go supernova based on physics and observations but WHEN is a problem. A star will "pulse" in a "last breath" prior to going supernova, but like death itself, no one really knows, when that last breath will happen. Betelgeuse, is experiencing those "last breaths" but when it will happen, or has happened, we will not know until we see the brilleint outburst from Earth.

Will a neutron star eventually go supernova?
No. A neutron star is left behind after a supernova. However, some gamma ray bursts may result from a collision between neutron stars.
If a star near us went nova would we be able to see it on earth?
Yes. If it were big enough and near enough, we might even be able to see it in the daytime, like the 1006 supernova. We expect the star Betelgeuse, the red giant star at the shoulder of Orion, to go supernova "sometime soon". However, "soon" to an astronomer means within the next few thousand years, so don't go expecting it this week. If\\\WHEN Betelgeuse goes supernova, it will be brighter than the Moon.
Where does a supernova fit into a star's lifecycle?
A supernova occurs at the end of a massive star's life cycle.
Can a planet go supernova?
No, only large stars go supernova when nuclear fusion breaks down. While white dwarfs can go supernova in some instances, brown dwarfs are failed stars which are not powered by nuclear fusion.
Is a star going supernova in the Orion?
There are currently no stars in the Orion constellation showing signs of going supernova. If a star in the Orion constellation were to go supernova, it would likely be visible to us on Earth given Orion's proximity.
