What Happens During a Supernova?

During a supernova, a star releases an immense amount of energy, typically on the order of 1044 joules. This energy release includes a burst of neutrinos, electromagnetic radiation, and sometimes gamma rays. The shockwave from the explosion propagates through the star's outer layers, causing them to be ejected at high velocities. The remnant core may form a neutron star or collapse further into a black hole.
