SAS Lecture: Supernovae

A supernova occurs when a star that is too massive to die quietly explodes at the end of its life. The energy released in this explosion is so large that the star becomes more than a hundred billion times as bright as the Sun for a period of six months to a year.
The talk Professor Sam Falle (Lees University) describes these events and uses the mathematical theory of explosions to illuminate the relationship between supernovae and explosions on Earth, particularly nuclear explosions.
