A high mass star in main sequence turns into ________ and _________

• a white dwarf and gradually cools

• a red giant and fuses hydrogen into helium

• a supergiant and fuses hydrogen into helium

• a supergiant and fuses carbon into heavier elements up to Iron

A super giant explodes in a supernova...

• 1. and matter is ejected into space that will eventually form new stars and planets

• 2. and heavier elements are formed through fusion

• 3. and either a neutron star or a black hole is formed

• all of these

A supernova can cause a black hole...

• which is so dense that nothing can escape it's gravity, not even light.
• which pushes matter away from it.
• where only light escapes.
• which is actually a bright star.

NGSS.MS-PS2-4

A supernova can also turn into a neutron star...

• when the star's core collapses and forms a dense mass of neutrons.
• where not even light can escape.
• and then it turns into a planet.
• and it does a little dance.
