What happens to a star heavier than five solar masses? ... Stars about ten solar masses probably behave like our five solar mass star until they reach the end of core-helium burning. ... The Crab nebula was formed after a massive explosion ripped a star apart in 1054. ... Today, the glowing outer layers of the star are still rushing away from a tiny star in the centre. ... An incredible explosion rips through the outer layers of the star, releasing colossal amounts of energy in a supernova explosion. ...

... The explosion of a star as a Supernova is certainly one of the most energetic events observable in the whole universe, and their radiation covers the whole band from radio to gamma-rays, accompanied with neutrino emission. ... Type Ia SNe are supposed to result from mass transfer inside a binary system consisting of a white dwarf star and an evolving giant star, which results in a termonuclear explosion. ...

... Optional: Quantum Physics . ... Energy Levels . ... Consider a proton inside the nucleus. ... Such nuclei, and heavy nuclei close to them in mass, are all on the brink of instability, and even without externally added energy, they find a way to get rid of some of their disruptive positive charge The forces on protons inside these nuclei resemble those on a bunch of marbles inside the "crater" of a volcano-shaped surface--smooth sloping sides outside, but a moderately deep crater on top ( drawing ). ...

Nucleus and electrons are held together by the electric attraction between positive (+) and negative (-) charges. ... When such processes occur in air, they produce there free ions and electrons, which can move and carry an electric current, something neutral atoms cannot do. ... The next heavier atom is that of helium (chemical symbol He) and it contains two electrons. ...

... self-absorption - the absorption of light shining on an object by a process similar to that which produced the light originally; if a cloud emits less light than it absorbs from other clouds behind it, this net loss of light, termed self-absorption , causes the foreground cloud to appear darker than the background field (the term is from spectroscopy, where small absorption dips sometimes occur in larger emission lines, making the latter look as if it is absorbing part of itself) . ...
