What else can I help you with?
Is your sun a supernova or a white dwarf?
Our Sun is currently a main sequence star. It is not a supernova, as supernovae are massive explosions that occur at the end of a star's life cycle, and it is not a white dwarf, which is a type of star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel and collapsed to a very dense state.
What is the collapsed core of a supernova that only contains neutrons?
A collapsed core of a supernova that only contains neutrons is called a neutron star. Neutron stars are very dense, with a mass greater than the sun but compressed into a sphere only about 12 miles in diameter. They are supported by neutron degeneracy pressure, which prevents further collapse.
Where does a supernova fit into a star's lifecycle?
A supernova occurs at the end of a massive star's life cycle.
What is the name of an explodeing star?
It's Called A Supernova
Why don't all supernova remnants contain pulsars?
A "pulsar" is a rapidly-rotating neutron star, with a core of collapsed matter. The pulsar rotates because the original star rotated. If\\ WHEN a massive star becomes a supernova, the force of the explosion will crush the core of the star into either a neutron star or a black hole, if the original star was massive enough. The angular momentum (the "spin energy") of the original star doesn't disappear; like a figure skater pulling in her arms to spin faster, the neutron star will spin more rapidly because it has collapsed in size. If the neutron star's axis is pointed somewhere close to Earth, we detect the pulsating x-rays and we call it a "pulsar". So to answer the question, all supernova remnants contain either neutron stars or black holes, but they are pulsars only if they spin rapidly.
What is a dense collapsed core with a very strong gravitional pull that forms when a very massive star become a supernova?
Neutron Star

What is a star called that has collapsed under gravity and is made of neutrons?
A star that has collapsed under gravity and is made of neutrons is called a neutron star. Neutron stars are extremely dense and have a strong gravitational pull due to the collapsed core of a massive star. They are the remnants of supernova explosions.
What is the collapsed core of a supernova that only contains neutrons?
A collapsed core of a supernova that only contains neutrons is called a neutron star. Neutron stars are very dense, with a mass greater than the sun but compressed into a sphere only about 12 miles in diameter. They are supported by neutron degeneracy pressure, which prevents further collapse.
What is a massive collapsed star?
A massive collapsed star is a dead star.
When was Rock Star Supernova created?
Rock Star Supernova was created in 2006.
Can a black hole stop a supernova?
A black hole is often the RESULT of a supernova explosion. When a massive star dies, the star explodes. The core of the star is crushed, while the outer layers of the star are blown away into space. This explosion is a nova or supernova. The early astronomers, seeing a burst of light where no star had ever been seen before, called them "nova stellarum", or "new star". When the core of the star is crushed by the explosion, the result is a neutron star or a black hole, depending on how densely the core is collapsed.

What gives a star light?
supernova supernova

What is the final explosion of a dying supergiant star called?
A supernova, or in the case of a smaller star, a nova.
