When you think of a star think of something like the sun, while a supernova is the explosion of a star, while its at the ending of its life span. Star: "A star is a massive, luminous ball of plasma that is held together by its own gravity." Supernova: "A supernova (plural: supernovae) is a stellar explosion." Stellar: "Stellar is an adjective referring to one or more stars." Quotes are from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova

What is bigger than a supernova?

A hypernova is a more powerful and larger explosion than a supernova. It occurs when a massive star collapses and releases an immense amount of energy, much greater than that of a supernova. Hypernovae are one of the most energetic events in the universe.

What is a hypernova?

A Hypernova (type 1c Supernova) refers to an immensely large star that explodes at the end of its lifespan.It relates to the supernova of the most massive stars, the hypergiants which have masses of between 100 and 300 solar masses.They are rare, and have the potential to destroy any life within it's radiation output. Luckily, no hypergiant is close enough to Earth to cause us any problems.See related link for more information.


What are the key differences between a supernova and a hypernova in terms of their explosive power and impact on the surrounding environment?

A supernova is a powerful explosion of a star, while a hypernova is an even more powerful explosion. Hypernovae release more energy and have a greater impact on their surroundings compared to supernovae.


What is the temperature of hypernova?

It is said that a hypernova can release around 100 times more energy than a supernova. Supernova's will reach temperatures of 100 billion degrees centigrade, and will release more energy in 15 seconds than our sun does in it's entire lifetime!


When will Mu Cephei die?

Mu Cephei, for all you uneducated people, is the 3rd largest star in the the universe, or that we know of. It is nearing death right now as you read this. it probably has only a few more 1000 years to live. Mu Cephei is a super giant star, so it is to big to explode into a supernova. It will probably explode into a hypernova, which is bigger than a supernova, or possibly into a meganova, which is bigger than a hypernova.
