szupernóváknak

Szupernóva is the Hungarian term for supernova, a powerful and luminous stellar explosion. This catastrophic event occurs at the end of a star's life cycle. There are two primary paths leading to a supernova. One involves a massive star that exhausts its nuclear fuel. Its core collapses under its own gravity, triggering a rebound explosion that expels the star's outer layers into space. The other path involves a white dwarf star in a binary system. If the white dwarf accretes enough mass from its companion, it can reach a critical limit, triggering runaway nuclear fusion and a subsequent explosion.

Supernovae are incredibly bright, temporarily outshining entire galaxies. They are responsible for creating and dispersing heavy elements, such as iron, gold, and uranium, throughout the universe. These elements are essential for the formation of planets and, ultimately, life. The remnants of supernovae can include neutron stars or black holes, depending on the mass of the progenitor star. Studying supernovae helps astronomers understand stellar evolution, the abundance of elements in the cosmos, and the expansion of the universe. The term "szupernóva" is the direct translation and is used in Hungarian scientific contexts.
