Much, if not all of the material that makes up the star is expelled at extremely high speeds (up to 30,000 Km/s). The shockwave from this explosion destroys any planets or other stellar bodies within its region of influence. The shockwave also pushes all the gas and dust surrounding the star into a vast, roughly sphereical cloud, for example, 'Kepler's supernova remnant sn 1604'. This accumulation of gas and dust can can result in the growth of new stars as the gas and dust clumps together.
The expelled material contains many higher mass elements such as nickel, cobalt and silicon and the material is the main source of elements heavier than oxygen which is the 8th element out of over 100 in the Periodic Table.
A supernova will usually spell the death of the star. Much of the star's material will be blown into space.
In the case of the important sort of supernova called a Type II supernova, what remains will become a neutron star or a black hole (depending on how much mass is left after the supernova explosion).

Will a neutron star eventually go supernova?
No. A neutron star is left behind after a supernova. However, some gamma ray bursts may result from a collision between neutron stars.
Is a star going supernova in the Orion?
There are currently no stars in the Orion constellation showing signs of going supernova. If a star in the Orion constellation were to go supernova, it would likely be visible to us on Earth given Orion's proximity.
Where does a supernova fit into a star's lifecycle?
A supernova occurs at the end of a massive star's life cycle.
What is the name of an explodeing star?
It's Called A Supernova
What is the final explosion of a dying supergiant star called?
A supernova, or in the case of a smaller star, a nova.
What effect will a nova have on a star?
It will destroy it in a cataclysmic explosion.
What do you call a huge explosion in which a large star may die?
This is a supernova.
When was Rock Star Supernova created?
Rock Star Supernova was created in 2006.
Is a supernova a super giant?
A supernova may have been a supergiant star at one time, but it did not have to be. Any star with a mass greater than 3 times our sun will supernova. There are millions of stars having masses between 3 solar masses and supergiant mass for every single supergiant star... and every one will supernova when it dies.
Will a neutron star eventually go supernova?
No. A neutron star is left behind after a supernova. However, some gamma ray bursts may result from a collision between neutron stars.
What a star may become after a supernova explosion?
Usually a neutron star, or a black hole, depending on the remaining mass.
Is a star going supernova in the Orion?
There are currently no stars in the Orion constellation showing signs of going supernova. If a star in the Orion constellation were to go supernova, it would likely be visible to us on Earth given Orion's proximity.
Where does a supernova fit into a star's lifecycle?
A supernova occurs at the end of a massive star's life cycle.
What is the name of an explodeing star?
It's Called A Supernova
What gives a star light?
supernova supernova
What is the final explosion of a dying supergiant star called?
A supernova, or in the case of a smaller star, a nova.
What might happened to a star after it explodes as a supernova?
The supernova remnant will either be a neutron star or a black hole.
