How Stars Explode

There are a few scenarios that could occur when a star has essentially burned itself out. A star with sufficient mass may fall to the ground and create a black hole. Science fiction lovers ought to have a rudimentary understanding of the idea of other stars going supernova. The star sputters, enlarges, and transforms into a red giant. The star's core's neutrinos rapidly expand as it compresses, continuing to expand until they trigger a catastrophic supernova explosion.

Scientists have had an extremely difficult time simulating a supernova in computers. Computer stars collapse when given the observable data we have, and that's it. They collapse in on themselves due to their own gravity. Nothing huge exploded. And that is the heart of the supernova riddle. How did the star burst so violently if gravity caused it to collapse when it became so massive? It is still somewhat mysterious why certain stars supernova while others do not. We may be lacking a lot of information about what occurs within a dying star, but for the time being, the situation is still unknown.
