Astronomers believe that a supernova is a massive explosion signaling the death of a star, causing a cosmic recycling of the chemical elements and leaving behind a pulsar, black hole, or nothing at all. This book tells how early astronomers identified supernovae, and how later scientists came to their current understanding.
