Question

When a star's nuclear energy runs out, it dies. A star can die in many ways. A _____ is one way a star might die, and it can trigger the beginning of a new star's life cycle.

Answer 1

The running out of the nuclear energy from the star indicates that the star is about to die and it can die in so many ways. The Supernova explosion is one way that the star might die, triggering the beginning of a new star's life cyce. The Supernova is said to be the greatest explosion that can happen in space.

Answer 2

A super nova can trigger the begining of a new star's life cycle. A star produces energy by converting hydrogen gas to helium. Once all the hydrogen in the core is used up a super massive explosion called a super nova can be triggerd. The resulting explosion leaves behing gas and dust which can eventually be pulled together by gravity over millions of years triggering the birth of a new star. Only massive stars end their lives in a supernova.
