When this core can no 5 longer support the pressure of the star's outer layers, it collapses to form ‘neutron star of immense density. Over 2,500 million tons of neutron star material could be packed into a matchbox. Mts temperature is around 100,000, million degrees centigrade. Multiudes of neutrons are produced In the collapsed star, which pass directly through the star into space, and 10 this release of neutrons causes the core to respond with a shock wave that moves outward, When it meets the material that is falling inward, the result isa catastrophic explosion. Sometimes most of the star's material is blown aviay, leaving only 2 small, incredibly dense remnant that may be a neutron star or, in extreme cases, a black hole. 1s ‘A supernova is often more than 500 million times as luminous as the sun. A supemova remnant (SNR) may be detectable as a pulsar, an cxample of which is the Crab Nebula, known to be a remnant of the supernova observed in the year 1054. The 1987 supemova in the Large Cloud of Magelan had a low peak luminosity by supemova standards, only 20 about 250 milion times that of the sun.
