It's a balance of gravity pushing in on the star and heat and pressure pushing outward from the star's core. When a massive star runs out of fuel, it cools off. This causes the pressure to drop. ... The collapse happens so quickly that it creates enormous shock waves that cause the outer part of the star to explode!
When did the supernova actually explode?
The supernova explosion that formed the Vela Supernova Remnant most likely occurred 10,000–20,000 years ago. The earliest possible recorded supernova, known as HB9, could have been viewed and recorded by unknown Indian observers in 4500±1000 BCE.
What happens if a supernova explodes?
The entire Earth could be vaporized in just a fraction of a second if the supernova was close enough. The shockwave would arrive with enough force to wipe out our entire atmosphere and even our oceans. The exploded star would grow brighter for about three weeks after the explosion, casting shadows even during the day.
