... Supernovae physics (from Wikipedia ): A supernova is a stellar explosion that creates an extremely luminous object that is initially made of plasma ionized form of matter. ... The explosion expels much or all of a star's material at a velocity of up to a tenth the speed of light, driving a shock wave into the surrounding interstellar gas. ...
