The Biggest Explosions in the Universe - ScienceNerds



What do you think is the biggest explosion in the universe?

 The word that probably comes to my mind is a supernova, but did you know that there are multiple types of supernova and some could have even bigger energy explosions? There are two main types of supernova, each of which can be classified into subcategories even if it seems that a little behind we are going to talk about type 2 supernova ...



The first stars, of course, have a life cycle, are born to remain stable for millions, even billions of years, until they run out of energy as high-mass stars age and begin to use increasingly large elements until I reached the iron creating an onion. Like the appearance with the heaviest elements near the core, it only fuses iron because fusing larger elements requires energy instead of producing it once they run out of this energy to keep the star stable, there are many different ways to start and die and his death is decided by its mass a solar mass is the mass of our Sun if a star has less than eight solar masses, it will become a white dwarf that will die slowly until the end of time so sad if a star is between 8 and 25 solar masses if that will be one to be more exact, type 2 supernovas the star will begin to explode at about a quarter of the speed of light until the neutron degeneration pressure prevents it from collapsing and increasing the energy it produces our Sun in its ten billion yen. Life is released in a matter of seconds.


what remains is a neutron star, these supernovae are quite common, one happens in our galaxy, every few hundred years or so four stars with more than 25 solar masses can still die in a supernova death, but what remains it will be a black hole, type 1 supernovae are quite different, they are not caused by the death of a very large star, but they are caused by a white dwarf exploding whoa whoa whoa grab our second white dwarf should not explode, just die slowly until the end of time, yes unless they are part of a binary star system Binary star systems are actually quite common in our galaxy, an approximate estimate is approximately 1/3 of our star systems are actually multiple star systems, or even more, stars when a white dwarf has a great campaign. You can start extracting some of your gases by stealing the white dwarf from the Star's livelihood or the mass limit of 1.4 for the solar masses before the electron degeneration pressure can no longer hold the start, so if a dwarf white feels too much mass boom you get a type 1 supernova, these supernovas are super important to understand the universe, they always release exactly the same amount of energy, so we call them standard sail if it's close we receive a ton of energy and it's far away, we receive much less, this helps us discover how close the galaxies are to us, the universe is huge and it is very difficult to understand if the galaxies are far away or if they really dim, these standard candles help us measure the size of the universe.

There is even the largest supernova possible, a tsuba supernova now. I'm just kidding that it would be great if I remember that, but instead, they are called still quite good hypernovas, although there is still a little mystery that probably happens when two neutron stars collide. By creating a large explosion of energy known as a gamma-ray explosion for stars with more than 100 solar masses, they can also become supernovae, but instead of leaving a black hole remnant, all the energy is poured into the explosion. all the densest elements in our land today.
