ABSTRACT
Supernova explosion is a
peculiar astronomical phenomenon, which has aroused great interest and extensive
research by astronomers. At present, however, it is erroneously believed that
the supernova explosion is a splendid funeral of a dying star. In fact, new
astronomical observations and the author’s theoretical studies have shown that
in the process of a star’s never-ending evolution, numerous supernova
explosions may occur, and supernova explosion will run through many stages of
stellar evolution. Whenever the atmosphere of the star becomes very dense and
its surface is covered with a thick layer of material again, a thermonuclear
reaction can be ignited again, causing a supernova explosion. Especially, when
the star has undergone a number of supernovae explosions and its surface is
covered with multiple layers of supernova explosion remnants, the core of the
massive star may undergo sudden gravitational collapse, causing a violent
supernova; when a star is impacted by a falling celestial body, it also
produces violent supernova explosions.
KEYWORDS
