- Introduction to Supernovae
Supernovae are massive exploding giant stars. When the explosion occurs, the resulting illumination can be as bright as an entire galaxy.

- Supernova
One of the most energetic explosive events known is a supernova. These occur at the end of a star's lifetime, when its nuclear fuel is exhausted and it is no longer supported by the release of nuclear energy.

- Type I and II Supernovae
Supernovae fall into two different types whose evolutionary history is different. Type I supernovae result from mass transfer inside a binary system consisting of a white dwarf star and an evolving giant star. Type II supernovae are, in general, single massive stars which come to the end of their lives in a very spectacular fashion.
