Type II Supernova
Core Collapse & Stellar Death
Animated 6-phase simulation of a Type II core-collapse supernova. Progresses through pre-collapse stellar onion layers, iron core photodisintegration, neutrino burst (10⁵³ erg), SASI shockwave propagation, heavy-element ejecta nucleosynthesis, and final neutron star remnant formation with relativistic jets. Auto-loops with flash transitions between phases.
