 * Supernovas**

Super Novas are the stellar explosions the Universe. They are the remnants of Red Supergiants and other stars when they explode. Some other causes are: Stellar cores that have run out of energy or the core of an aging massive star collapes. During a Supernova, a shockwave is realeased, shooting a shell of gas into space. The only way we as humans can see these explosions, is buy using a telescope. But we can only see the remnants, since we are many light years later. One way scientists identify supernovas are by a rapidly rotating neutron star that can be observed many years later as a radio pulsar.
