Yes. Supernova explosions are visible to the naked eye on average of once per century. In the 1054 AD, a "new star" or "nova stellarum" was observed to be visible in the daytime. These days, we call it the "Crab Nebula". It is entirely possible that a supernova could explode and be visible in your lifetime, although that would probably mean that it has ALREADY exploded and the light is on its way even now.

However, it would be (so far!) impossible to predict such an event ahead of time.

A supernova explosion releases unbelievably titanic energies. We wouldn't want one to explode within several hundred light years of us!

How do you make a capital ship explode in Star Wars battlefront 2?

in star wars battlefront 2 you can't make the capital ships explode you can only destroy its critical systems to gain points such as: the life support (destroy it inside the ship or on the outside the ship) and the same with the shield generator and the engines, bridge, coms relay, and the short range coms system, after all the points on the ship have been destroyed the ship will not explode there is no way to make it explode. its quite complicated.


What is the lifetime for this star in years There is a star elsewhere that has 10 times the mass of the Sun but a luminosity which is 100 thousand times that of the Sun?

If you look at the Spectral classes of stars, you will see that this star is a medium sized Blue-white star(3-18 MSun, 95-52000 LSun, Spectral class B). The average main sequence lifespan of this type of star is, according to the table, is 11-400 million years.

Does a star 'explode' or 'implode' into a blackhole?

The usual term is "collapse". This happens when the gas and radiation pressure, or degenerate pressure, is no longer enough to counteract gravity.


Black holes form from the remains of stars that?

"explode as supernovae". These are called Type II supernovae and sometimes a neutron star is formed, not a black hole.

What can a super giant star explode into?

A supergiant star can explode into a supernova, where the outer layers are ejected into space. What remains may collapse into a neutron star or black hole, depending on the mass of the original star.

What is the space in space called after a star explode?

well it depends on the star. not all stars explode. small to medium sized stars just go into a planetary nebula after they swell up to a red giant then the bigger stars do explode, they have a super nova after the swell up into a super giant. but dont worry i star will not explode... its a really small star. --- nichole brooks :)
