A "nova". About 500 years ago, an observer watching the sky observed a new star where there had never been one visible before. (500 years ago, there were no street lights and the night sky was DARK. There wasn't much to do other than to look at the stars.)
Since the observer was in Europe and the educated classes all wrote in Latin, he called it a "nova stellarum", which is Latin for "new star". The name "nova" has stuck.
Now, of course, we know SO much more than they did in the middle ages, and now we know that the "new star" was actually the last gasp of a DYING star; a star too far away to be visible, flaring into temporary brightness as it exploded, and the glow fading as the explosion spread out.
What else can I help you with?
What is a rock that falls from outer space?
If it burns up in the atmosphere, it is a meteor. If it manages to make it through the atmosphere and land on Earth, it is a meteorite. A really bright meteor is called a bollide.
Was Hayden Rorke ever in an episode of the Outer Limits called zzzz?
No she did not appear in that episode.
What is the ejected outer layers of a dying low-mass star called?
planetary nebula
The people who study space?
Assuming you mean "outer space", those people are called astronomers.
What was the name of the spacecraft in which three American astronauts flew in at the same time in outer space?
It is called the Apollo spacecraft.
What is a star that explodes and throw off a bright outer shell of gas called?
A star that explodes is called a supernova.
When a outer portion of a star explodes does it produce super nova?
no
What is produced when the outer core of a star explodes after the star collapses?
Supernova
What is produced when the outer core of the star explodes after the core collapses?
Supernova
What is produced when the outer core of star explodes after the core collapses?
Supernova
Do all exploding stars create a supernova?
When a star explodes and destroys itself, leaving only a dense core behind, it is called a Supernova. The only other option is when a star goes nova, where only the outer body of the star explodes, but the stellar remnant remains in place.
What is produced when the outer parts of a star explodes after the core collapses?
The explosion (a supernova) produces a glowing cloud of gas (called a nebula) that slowly expands and dissipates (eg the crab nebula).
What the source of light is for bright objects in outer space?
Stars
What happens when the outer core of a star explodes after the core collapses?
Its blown into interstellar space - to enrich and mix with the gasses already out there.
What is the grainy texture on the sun's surface produced by numerous bright markings called?
The grainy texture on the sun's surface produced by numerous bright markings is called granulation. These granules are the tops of convection cells, where hot plasma rises and cooler plasma sinks in the sun's outer layer.
What is a rock falling from outer space?
If it burns up in the atmosphere, it is a meteor. If it manages to make it through the atmosphere and land on Earth, it is a meteorite. A really bright meteor is called a bollide.
