Massive Stars<br />

Red supergiants don’t “puff”<br />

away when they get older like<br />

their smaller relatives…they<br />

explode.<br />

This SUPERNOVA ejects gas,<br />

radiation and a blast wave far<br />

into space.<br />

V.B.1.<br />

It will light up the skies for<br />

weeks or months.<br />

A supernova will briefly<br />

outshine its own galaxy when it<br />

explodes.<br />
