What Does SN Stand For?
SN stands for SuperNova
SN, short for SuperNova, refers to a powerful and luminous explosion that marks the death of a star. This astronomical event occurs when a star exhausts its nuclear fuel, leading to a dramatic increase in brightness, often outshining entire galaxies for a brief period. Supernovae play a critical role in the universe by dispersing elements into space, contributing to the formation of new stars and planets. They are also key to understanding stellar evolution and the dynamics of galaxies.
