The death of a star

3-d video from NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory. It shows the explosion of SN 2006gy. he extremely massive star shed some of its outer layers in a large eruption prior to its violent collapse. The explosion then plows into the expelled cooler gas, creating a brilliant light show. Astronomers think Eta Carinae in the Milky Way could explode in the same way at any time.

[Universound57]

why do you call it "the death of a star"....well, what happens after a star becomes supernovae, it becomes a pulsar, so the star died and the pulsar is born... NOTHING DIES, EVER! and we have never experienced the death of anything....nothing in the universe dies only changes form
