A supernova is like a giant fireworks show in space. It happens when a big star runs out of fuel and explodes so brightly that it can be seen from very far away. Imagine your favorite candy bar, after you eat all the chocolate, it’s just empty wrappers inside! That’s what happens to some stars before they blow up.
Examples
- Imagine your star as a giant candy bar, when it runs out of energy, it explodes into the universe!
- Stars can go from being bright to dead in just seconds during a supernova.
