A supernova is formed when the mass of the core of a star becomes so great that it collapses due to its own gravitational force. This results in a s u p e r n o v a \boxed{supernova} .

Yeah. But they're not too dangerous.

Of course they are (if one is too close to 🌍 or 🌏 or 🌎 or it turns into a 🕳️ and sends out γ \gamma -ray bursts and it is pointed at 🌍 or 🌎 or 🌏)

A supernovae is a giant bomb; they fuse iron and other elements. This is likely the origin of many heavy elements on Earth, like Gold, Platinum, Uranium, etc.
