Spica, a binary star system in the constellation Virgo, is composed of two massive stars, with the primary being a blue giant. While it is not currently expected to explode as a supernova in the near future, it will eventually exhaust its nuclear fuel and could potentially go supernova in several million years. However, the specifics depend on its evolutionary path, particularly the fate of its more massive component. For now, it remains a fascinating object of study in stellar evolution.
What else can I help you with?
Will Sirius become a supernova?
No, Sirius will not become a supernova. It is a relatively young star compared to those that typically go supernova, and its mass is not sufficient to trigger such an explosive event. Sirius is expected to eventually evolve into a white dwarf.
Will Altair soon become a supernova?
Highly unlikely in our lifetime. Altair is still on the main sequence and probably has a few billion years left on it. Even when it comes to the end of the main sequence, it may not have enough mass to become a supernova.
Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?
No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.
The onset of iron fusion causes a star to become a?
The onset of iron fusion causes a star to become a supernova. This process occurs when the star's core collapses due to the inability to support the fusion of iron, leading to a catastrophic explosion.
If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter the core will most likely become a what?
If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter, it will most likely become a black hole. The gravitational force is so strong that the core collapses into a singularity, forming a black hole.
When was SPICA created?
SPICA was created in 1932.
Which star is hotter betelgeuse or spica?
spica is hotter. even though btelgeuse is bigger it is not as hot as spica
Who discovered the spica star?
NIcolus Copernicus did many observations on the spica but no one knows who discoveed the Spica Star
Will Sirius become a supernova?
No, Sirius will not become a supernova. It is a relatively young star compared to those that typically go supernova, and its mass is not sufficient to trigger such an explosive event. Sirius is expected to eventually evolve into a white dwarf.
When was Mylothris spica created?
Mylothris spica was created in 1884.
When was Twin Spica created?
Twin Spica was created in 2009.
Is Spica in Virgo?
YES, Spica is in Virgo.It is the brightest star in the constellation.
What is the size of Spica in space?
Spica has 7-8 times the diameter of our Sun.
What is the brightness of spica?
Spica's absolute magnitude (Mv) is: −3.55 (−3.5/−1.5)
Could a supernova on Jupiter cause the earth to be pushed off it axis?
Only a very, very few stars have mass enough to become supernova. Jupiter is a planet not a star. It is far to small to become a star, let alone a supernova.
Why do some stars become red giants and others become supernova?
i dont know
What age is spica?
The average lifespan of a star like Spica is around 10 million years.
