A supernova is a violent stellar explosion which destroys a star, while ejecting the products of nuclear burning into the gas between stars. The energy for some supernova explosions comes from the collapse of a massive star to a compact neutron star, with the mass of the Sun, but the size of a city. Elements out of which the Earth is formed had their origin in ancient supernova explosions in our own Milky Way Galaxy. 3, record 1, English, - stellar%20explosion

Un astrónomo [...] captó la imagen de una estrella en el momento de su explosión, y el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) piensa que puede ser "un nuevo tipo de explosión estelar". La imagen captada permite observar el "eco de luz" alejándose de la estrella [...] El fenómeno del "eco de luz" captado por los astrónomos es muy poco frecuente, y se produce cuando tras la explosión de una estrella, la energía producida crea una burbuja de luz que se expande a gran velocidad y que en el caso de esta estrella provocó que su luminosidad aumentara 10.000 veces en apenas unas semanas, explica el IAC. 1, record 1, Spanish, - explosi%C3%B3n%20estelar
