Supernovae - An Explanation of the Various Types

This is a short film outlining the two main types of supernovae: one results from a massive star at the end of its life (Type Ib, Ic and II), while the other occurs in white dwarf in a close binary system (Type Ia).

Thanks. Yes not enough subscribers. It says over 1000 but I suspect most are fake or bots.

Fascinating visuals! I love how these explosions shoot out metals, and other stuff I assume, that are created. This ejecta then can become other things. I guess what I like is that the Fe in my blood was made in one of these stars. Obviously you can correct my science, as I'm coming at this from a more spiritual angle. Curious me, curious worlds. Thanks.

You are correct. Iron and nickel are the heaviest elements made inside stars - but only massive stars, not sun-like ones. (Supernovae create even heavier elements.) All the iron in your body comes from stars. Not only that, but since the Big Bang created only hydrogen, helium and a tiny bit of lithium, everything else inside you - carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, etc - had to be manufactured inside a star's nuclear reactor.

Great visual of what we learned in books. Also like the heart-pumping music.
