Supernovae
published by the Goddard Space Flight Center
This NASA-Goddard website presents the basic concepts of the supernova. Topics include the different types of supernova, the cause of the explosion, and what happens to the core that is left behind. A vivid pair of images show a part of the night sky before and after a supernova has exploded. Links to definitions, quizzes, and other references are included.
