Computer artwork of a supernova explosion
Supernova. Computer artwork of a star exploding as a supernova. A supernova occurs when a star of more than a few solar masses runs out of nuclear fuel in its core. As the resulting radiation pressure decreases, the star collapses under gravity. The rapid collapse temporarily creates enormous energy which makes the star explode. A supernova can shine brighter than an entire galaxy. In the supernova explosion, some of the outer gas shell of the star is blown out into space along with some heavy elements from the core. The core will collapse further, possibly forming a neutron star or, if the star was very massive, a black hole

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning computer artwork of a supernova explosion, capturing the awe-inspiring moment when a star meets its explosive demise. The image beautifully depicts the intense energy released as a massive star, depleted of nuclear fuel in its core, succumbs to gravity's relentless pull. As the radiation pressure wanes, the star undergoes an extraordinary collapse that triggers an immense burst of energy, resulting in a brilliant supernova. This celestial event can outshine even entire galaxies and leave us humbled by nature's grandeur. In this mesmerizing display of cosmic artistry, we witness how the outer gas shell and heavy elements from the core are violently expelled into space. The remnants of this cataclysmic explosion hold within them secrets about stellar evolution and contribute to enriching our universe with new elements. The aftermath of such an astronomical spectacle may give birth to either a neutron star or, in cases where the original star was exceptionally massive, even a black hole. These enigmatic entities continue to captivate scientists and astronomers alike as they delve deeper into unraveling their mysteries. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this breathtaking moment through their lens and transformed it into an artistic masterpiece that seamlessly blends science with beauty. This remarkable piece serves as both an educational tool for astronomy enthusiasts and a visual feast for those who appreciate the wonders that lie beyond our world's boundaries.
