Look at this beautiful supernova!
What's a supernova? It is a star that has exploded, and it is the most powerful explosion that humans have ever seen.
According to the European Space Agency website: "Stars explode when they run out of fuel to burn. Stars more than 10 times the mass of our Sun will explode in an event called a 'core-collapse supernova'.
"Without fuel and thus energy to support their gravity, such stars first implode. The core reaches a critical density, and much of the collapsing matter gets bounced back out violently into space by powerful shockwaves."
