Detailed explanation-1: -Main sequence stars over eight solar masses are destined to die in a titanic explosion called a supernova. A supernova is not merely a bigger nova. In a nova, only the star’s surface explodes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eventually, as stars age, they evolve away from the main sequence to become red giants or supergiants. The core of a red giant is contracting, but the outer layers are expanding as a result of hydrogen fusion in a shell outside the core. The star gets larger, redder, and more luminous as it expands and cools.
Detailed explanation-3: -But to support their tremendous mass, supergiants burn up their fuel much more quickly. Eventually, all possible fuels are exhausted, the core collapses, and the star goes supernova.
