supernovae and stellar evolution
Supernovae refers to powerful and explosive events that occur at the end stages of a star's life, causing it to release an enormous amount of energy and materials into space. Stellar evolution, on the other hand, encompasses the various stages a star goes through during its lifetime, from its formation to eventual death as a supernova or a less violent process.
