  • Supernova is a stellar explosion that is more energetic than nova,a supernova is an explosion of a massive super giant star.
  • It may shine with the brightness of 10 billion suns,the total energy output may be 1044 joules, as much as the total output of the sun during its 10 billion year lifetime that bright star isn’t actually a star, at least not anymore.supnovform
  • The brilliant point of light is the explosion of a star that has reached the end of its life, otherwise known as a supernova.
  • Supernovae are classified as type 1 or type 2 depending upon the shape of their light curves and the nature of their spectra.
  • Type 1 supernova: star accumulates matter from a nearby neighbor until a runaway nuclear reaction ignites.
  • Type 2 supernova: star runs out of nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity.
