A SUPERNOVA IS a gigantic explosion involving the almost complete disintegration of a supergiant star. A supernova releases enormous quantities of light, other forms of energy, and matter into space and, for a few weeks, may outshine entire galaxies. The star's core may survive the explosion and form a neutron star or a black hole.
