Supernovae play a crucial role in the creation of heavy elements, including those necessary for life, such as iron and oxygen. These elements are released into the universe during the explosive death of massive stars, enriching the surrounding gas clouds from which new stars and planets, like Earth, can form. Supernovae also generate powerful shock waves that can trigger the formation of new stars and influence the evolution of galaxies.
