4 types of explosions create supernovae

The collapse of supergiant stars or collisions between two white dwarfs could lead to the formation of.

Supernova is created when a star explodes.

Supernova is created when a star explodes. Images from NASA's Kepler train show that the explosion occurred in four ways.

• 1. White dwarfs and other stars can start to rotate around each other. If a white dwarf sucks too much material from the star, the explosion occurs.
• 2. When two white dwarfs approach too close, they will collide, leading to an explosion.
• 3. Super giant stars die when their cores become too large, using up nuclear fuel. Gravity caused it to collapse, creating a giant explosion.
• 4. Scientists think there is a rarer way such as bright stars that evolve rapidly, spewing out dust and gas, eventually exploding.
