But because incredible temperatures were required to keep the fusion going, at some point, even the gradually collapsing core could not generate enough heat to keep the star alive. In a matter of seconds, the core would collapse to a fraction of its size, with the very atoms being destroyed, forming a neutron star. With this incredible effect, a massive shock wave was released, heating the star to a monstrous temperature, hundreds of billions of degrees centigrade. This heat caused the fusion to start again, melting the atoms to form the heaviest elements in the universe. At that point, the star would blow up in a titanic explosion known as a supernova. These supernovae could shine as brightly as a million stars, and if the star was large enough, it would form a hypernova, the biggest expl

  • But because incredible temperatures were required to keep the fusion going, at some point, even the gradually collapsing core could not generate enough heat to keep the star alive. In a matter of seconds, the core would collapse to a fraction of its size, with the very atoms being destroyed, forming a neutron star. With this incredible effect, a massive shock wave was released, heating the star to a monstrous temperature, hundreds of billions of degrees centigrade. This heat caused the fusion to start again, melting the atoms to form the heaviest elements in the universe. At that point, the star would blow up in a titanic explosion known as a supernova. These supernovae could shine as brightly as a million stars, and if the star was large enough, it would form a hypernova, the biggest explosion in the universe. The remains of a supernova could be neutron, electron and proton star and sometimes even black holes. Supernovae left a huge nebula made of gold, mercury, platinum and other heavy elements behind. Beings throughout the galaxy watched supernovæ in wonder, and many of them traveled into deep space to mine the gold-rich nebulæ left behind. Supernovae remnant nebulæ were considered the galactic gold rush, with many beings claiming they had seen entire planets of pure gold.
