It would depend on how close the propagator star was.

The closest and most probable supernova event will be Betelgeuse at 600 light years. However, for the gamma rays to have a serious affect, the star needs to be less that 100 light years away.

Can a star lose its planets?

Yes. Strong centers of gravity can rip a star apart. The strongest known centers of gravity are black holes, but other much more massive stars can destroy smaller stars if they get too close to one another. Humans do not currently have any technologies that can destroy a star (even excusing the problem of getting the device to the star in question).


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.


How did the supernova come about?

Well in space there are billions of stars. Stars are like humans they are born, they live for a while and eventually die out. When a star reaches the end of its life it starts to produce elements in its core such as helium and other elements but when it produces IRON it has signed its death certificate, after just a few seconds after the star has produced iron it has a supernova. A supernova is the single most destructive force known to man. A supernova will destroy anything in its path. When the supernova is over all that is left is a white dwarf which is so dense that if you was to drop a sugar cube on its surface it would sink into its core thousands of miles deep. Hope I answered your question, if you have anymore questions reply back.

Can the planet mercury survive supernova?

No, Mercury is too close to the sun and would be vaporized in the event of a supernova. The extreme heat and radiation from a supernova would completely destroy the planet.
