Will Betelgeuse become a neutron star?

After a supernova explosion in Betelgeuse it will definitely become at least a neutron star. However, because of it's mass it's more than likely to become a black hole. If it does, then it will be the closest black hole to Earth.


Will Betelgeuse become a white dwarf?

It's difficult to know exactly what Betelgeuse will become, but it will most likely explode as a supernova. The result will probably be a black hole, but depending on the magnitude of the explosion, it could become a neutron star or pulsar.


What most likely formed the crab nebula?

The crab nebula is the debris formed in the supernova explosion.


What is a likely progenitor of a type you supernova?

A likely progenitor of a Type Ia supernova is a white dwarf star in a binary system, accreting material from a companion star until it reaches a critical mass, triggering a thermonuclear explosion.


What type of supernova will Betelgeuse be?

Betelgeuse is expected to end its life in a supernova explosion, likely as a Type II supernova due to its massive size and age. This type of supernova occurs when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity.


Which star has the greatest probability of producing a supernova explosion?

There is no way of knowing which star will next go "supernova".However, closer to home, Betelgeuse is the most likely to produce a supernova - within humanities lifetime.


What is the most likely fate of star with a mass 8 times that of the sun?

A star 8 times the mass of the sun will most likely explode in a supernova.


What is the most likely fate of a 25 solar mass Main Sequence star?

A star of 25 solar masses is most likely going to die in a supernova explosion which will throw half or more of its mass into space, and the remaining mass will become a black hole or neutron star. Please note that since your body is made of carbon and other heavier elements such as iron, the atoms that are YOU have already been through a supernova explosion and were expelled from a dying star long, long ago.


The minimum mass of a star required for it to become a neutron star is?

Approximately 1.4 times the mass of the sun, known as the Chandrasekhar limit, is required for a star to become a neutron star. If a star has a mass greater than this limit, it will likely undergo a supernova explosion and collapse into a neutron star.


If a star is 20x the mass of the sun what will it become?

If a star is 20 times the mass of the Sun, it will likely evolve into a supernova at the end of its life cycle. During the supernova explosion, the star will release a huge amount of energy and its core will collapse, leading to the formation of a neutron star or potentially a black hole, depending on the final mass of the core.


What elements were likely generated during a crab nebula explosion?

Elements like carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen were likely generated during a Crab Nebula explosion. These explosions, known as supernovae, are powerful enough to create heavier elements through nuclear fusion processes.


What will a star that's 1000 times as massive as the sun ultimately become?

A star that is 1000 times as massive as the Sun will likely end its life in a supernova explosion, leaving either a neutron star or a black hole as a remnant, depending on the mass of the core after the explosion.
