Iron is the heaviest element formed by fusion in the core of a supergiant star prior to its supernova explosion. Elements heavier than iron are typically formed during the supernova explosion itself through nucleosynthesis processes.
Elements such as gold, silver, and uranium are typically remnants of a supernova explosion. These heavy elements are formed during the intense energy release of a supernova event.
Yes, pulsars are often found in supernova remnants. Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation, and they are formed when a massive star undergoes a supernova explosion. The remnants of the supernova provide the environment from which the pulsar originates.
Nebula. Some nebulae are formed as the result of supernova explosions. The material thrown off from the supernova explosion is ionized by the supernova remnant. One of the best examples of this is the Crab Nebula, in Taurus. It is the result of a recorded supernova, SN 1054, in the year 1054 and at the centre of the nebula is a neutron star, created during the explosion.
In a high mass supernova, the outermost layer consists of hydrogen and helium, followed by layers of heavier elements such as carbon, oxygen, silicon, and iron. At the core of the supernova, neutron-rich elements like gold, platinum, and uranium are formed through nucleosynthesis processes during the explosion.
Neutron star: A dense remnant composed primarily of neutrons formed from the collapsing core of a massive star during a supernova explosion. Black hole: A region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape, formed when the core of a massive star collapses during a supernova. Heavy elements: Elements with atomic numbers higher than iron, such as gold, uranium, and platinum, are created during the intense temperatures and pressures of a supernova explosion.
Elements such as gold, silver, and uranium are typically remnants of a supernova explosion. These heavy elements are formed during the intense energy release of a supernova event.
It is postulated that a supernova explosion was the catalyst which formed our Solar System.

The crab nebula is the debris formed in the supernova explosion.
Iron is the heaviest element that can be produced by normal processes inside a star through nuclear fusion. Elements heavier than iron are typically formed in supernova explosions or through other stellar processes.
Yes, pulsars are often found in supernova remnants. Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation, and they are formed when a massive star undergoes a supernova explosion. The remnants of the supernova provide the environment from which the pulsar originates.
A supernova is when a massive star explodes. A neutron star is what can be formed after a supernova explosion. See related questions

Yes, gold can come from space. Gold is thought to have been formed in supernova explosions billions of years ago and then brought to Earth through meteorite impacts. However, the majority of gold on Earth is thought to have been created through geological processes within the Earth's mantle.
Yes. In fact our Solar System formed because of a supernova explosion. It was the impetus that was needed to get the gaseous clouds to start the initial rotation.
