Supernovae come in various forms, with different causes, but in general terms theyѓЉrepresent eitherѓЉthe explosive death of a giant star, or a very violent episode in the life of a binary star pair. Visually, they are the greatest explosions we see in the universe, with the exploding star sometimes becoming as bright as the combined light of all the other hundreds of millions of stars in its parent galaxy! ...
