supernovaexplosionen
Supernovaexplosionen are cataclysmic stellar explosions that mark the end of a star's life. These events are incredibly luminous, briefly outshining entire galaxies. There are two primary types of supernovae. Type I supernovae, often referred to as Type Ia, occur in binary star systems where a white dwarf star accretes matter from its companion. When the white dwarf exceeds a critical mass, known as the Chandrasekhar limit, it triggers a runaway nuclear fusion reaction, leading to a violent explosion.
Type II supernovae, on the other hand, are the result of the core collapse of massive stars.
