When massive stars die, they don't fade away gently, instead they explode as supernovae - and in some cases, hypernovae - and leave behind supernova remnants, neutron stars, and even black holes. But how they get to this point is really amazing; high-mass stars evolve very fast and create elements heavier than carbon and oxygen. During the supernova, they create heavy elements. In fact, Betelgeuse in Orion is about to go supernova!

🔴So sorry I've been off the grid lately. Unfortunately my mother passed away and I had to spend much more time than I thought to get the house ready for sale while doing the professor job at the same time. But now I'm back and there's much more to come! Check out more videos about stars here: czcams.com/play/PLrAnGxL8nxOET_FfZinl5Z-JHrH41OpZ-.html
So sorry about your mom. My condolences....stay strong sir and wishing you all the best in 2020.
Sorry to hear that sir. May your mom rest in peace.
I'm sorry for your loss!
:( My condolences.
Sorry for your loss Christian. I've found that a parent's death can seem to age you faster, so please try to stay young at heart!
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your mother. It sounds like she was a very special person not only in you life but others as well.
Thank you, Phil. :)

atam mardes something I’ve always loved to think about.
what a croc
I want to give this a standing ovation. I've been looking forward to your return, and you did so in true style. Your presentation style was perfection and the end was super touching. Also a huge congrats on the sponsorship. Your mum would definitely be proud of this one, and I absolutely loved what you said about her memory ❤ love you mate :)
Thank you so much, Beanie. I can't tell you how grateful I am for your friendship. I know your mum would be so proud of what you've done since she left. Love you, man.
Sorry to hear about your mother. Hope you're doing ok considering. Looking forward to more videos Christian.
Thank you so kindly, I truly appreciate it.
So sorry for your loss, remember when someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Thank you. Those words ring true.
Yay, you're back. Wow, you supernova'd my brain and I loved it. I would love to see a supernova one day but not really. Great tribute to your mom. I'm sorry for your loss. She did return to the universe but her memories will always matter.
Thanks brother Eric. Mom loved this stuff so giving her a shoutout here seemed very appropriate. Appreciate all your support.
My sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. I lost my father a few years ago. I remember him getting me my first telescope and later teaching me how to grind a mirror for my first reflector. A few years ago while explaining how telescopes work to my daughter I realized my father's voice was still alive and well within me. I only know you from the fine videos that you produce but I have to believe your mother would be immensely proud of the good work you do. Thank you!
Thank you so much for those kind words and my condolences in return for the loss of your father. It’s true that our parents’ voices are still alive in us. Thank you for passing yours on to the next gent.
Oh ! Sorry to hear that. It's a very sad demise. May God give u the courage to face this reality . May her soul rest in peace.
Thank you very kindly, it's very much appreciated.
Man, really sorry for your loss. Don't worry about taking that time off though, I love your videos and would never stop watching just because you took a break. They'll pop up in my sub feed when you return from any break you take so no problem at all. I was thinking part way through watching this one, this is one of your best videos yet. It never fails that you blow my mind with this stuff. I have to keep pausing or skipping back a few seconds to think about what you're saying and take it in because it's just mind boggling.
Thank you so much, Icza. I can't describe how much I appreciate it. I'm really flattered that you liked the video and got so much out of it. I do agree that it's pretty mind-blowing stuff. Best to you.
My condolences Mr. Ready on the loss of your mother..I haven't lost my mother as of yet or my father,so I honestly cannot tell you that I know what you've been going thru,therefore I'm also sorry I can't think of words of wisdom or something that's truly heartfelt and beautiful..You're still producing magnificent videos,so that in itself speaks volumes about your character,spirit and heart my friend,even after this tragedy that has befallen upon you..I tip my hat in salute to you and the awesome work you do
Informative & Entertaining . But most importantly , Astronomy explained in such an easy to understand way that even i can grasp most of it . I truly enjoy this Channel . And i am so happy to have found it . I am so sorry for your loss . But i do wish you a Happy New Year ahead .
Thank you, Dave, I really appreciate your kind words. So glad you're here!
I just saw your video, Professor. Even though it is a year old I truly enjoyed it and learned a lot.
I lost my Mom 8 yrs ago, but at times it feels like yesterday. I'm certain you understand. I love how you described your Mothers passing...part of the universe. Bless you and your dear Mother and, Thank you for sharing her and your thoughts.
Thank you so much for those kind words. And please accept condolences on the loss of your mom as well. Even though it was years ago, Im sure you must still feel the loss like you felt shortly after her passing. That’s certainly my experience so far.
So very sorry to hear about your mothers passing. She sounded like an incredible woman and clearly made an immense impression on you and those around you. I enjoy all your videos and look forward to everything I learn in each one. Keep the great work coming!
Thank you so much. She really did make an impression on me. She's more than a little responsible for how I turned out :)
Excellent video, very sorry for your loss😥
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Love you brother. Family takes priority.
Thank you so much. Indeed it does but there's family beyond family to attend to so I'm glad to be back. Have a wonderful New Year.
sorry for your loss mr ready, I'm sure she's in a better place now and that she's extremely proud of you. keep going and thanks for making the universe an enjoyable and understandable place!
So I’m just now getting around to your video- and I am so sorry to hear about your mother. Deepest condolences to you and the family. As a husband of a college professor, I understand the time suck of teaching a new class- we all enjoy the videos whenever you have time to push them out!
Thank you so much for those kind words. I really appreciate them a lot.
I am sorry to hear about your mother and I am sure she was very proud of you. I am really grateful for this channel, I am grad student of Astronomy myself but I learn so much from watching your videos. Channel like this one was really needed.
Thank you so much. I know my mother would have loved your comment :) Be well, my friend.
That was such a heartfelt ending. I only just started watching your content today and I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you had such a close, strong relationship with your mother. I wish you well and hope that you will continue doing what you love and sharing astronomy with people around the world
I see an amazing teacher and a wonderful son. Thanks a million for the upload, professor. May the universe be with you and your mother❤️
What a lovely tribute to your mother, she would have been incredibly proud of where this channel has gotten to 🤍 I lost my mother in her 3rd bout of cancer so I can appreciate how much of a fighter Cecilia was. And I know this video was 2 years ago but please don't feel you need to apologise for taking time away... _nothing_ is more important than family.
Both my mum & dad were instrumental in fostering my love of learning everything science, arts & engineering-related so I frequently think of them when I learn new things in videos like yours... and while I absolutely miss being able to share all these new discoveries with them, over time some of the sadness has been replaced with appreciation for this gift that they've given to me. So thank you for sharing your knowledge 🤍
Welcome back Christian. I’m very grateful for the time and knowledge you share with us. My sincere condolences. We are all part of the circle of life in our wonderful universe.
Thank you Mark for those kind words. I'm just grateful she and we exist(ed) at all :)
Honestly , one of the best explained videos on the subject I've seen. That was really cool. Subbed, and will start going through your videos one by one . So glad you popped up on my recommended . Cheers mate, an interested fan from Sydney .
Thank you so much, I’m glad to have you along for the ride. Cheers mate!
Świetny kanał, numer #1, wszystko świetnie jest wytłumaczone, pozdrawiam z Polski! 🇵🇱
RIP....... She returned to the universe. keep doing great work. Nice video
Thank you so much.
So sorry for your loss man. I hope things get better for you. Thank you for sharing that part of your life with us. Much love my friend.
Thank you so kindly. She was a wonderful person and she raised me right. For that I'll be forever thankful. Best to you.
Good to see you back @launchpadastronomy, sorry for your loss!
Thanks, I’m glad to be back!
So sorry about your Mum and thanks for your very informative video. Welcome back
Thanks Anne, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Also, thank you for the kind words. Best to you for a Happy New Year.
My mum also passed away in September 2019. I could not be with her, since I was far away. I remember working that day, preparing to teach at university - with less energy but more passion than ever. As a judge, she inspired me to seek a greater purpose in my career than amassing wealth: to enrich society with my work, be curious and supportive. Thank you inspiring moms! We love you, and we will never forget you. Pro tip: let your mom hear that, while she is still alive. Some people do not fully realize what they mean to the people around them.
I am so very sorry for your loss! My condolences to you and your family!
And thank you for these videos, they help me so much while studying for an up coming exam!!
On a more somber note I'd like to offer my condolences about your mother. I too have recently experienced the worst part of life, the end. My fiance and soulmate, my beloved Larz, unexpectedly and tragically passed just 3 weeks ago due to complications following surgery. My whole universe was shattered when his physical existence in this one ceased, everyday is a tsunami of overwhelming depression, I cannot wait to see him again. But in the meantime thank you for continuing to make these videos, the only thing that has been able to provide any meaningful amount of distraction and joy is watching videos related to my major (astrophysics) or my other "nerdy" passion, that being dinosaur paleontology.
I hope Larz and your mother are each soaring through the cosmos waiting for us to all be reunited in eternity.
Thankyou for sharing your lovely memories Christian. I live all your videos
Thank you 🙏
Sorry for the loss .I appreciate the potential your Momma saw in you did the best thing- gifting you with a telescope. You didn't dissapoint,walked in the universe with the language of stellar tribesmen.Ive benefitted so much from your videos after all i can't have enough of Astronomy.Sorry Chris for the sorrow!
I can tell you almost got a little choked up when you were talking about your mom I wish you the best of luck wish you good health and I happy long rest of your life
So sorry for your lose. She sounds like she was an incredible lady and you were so lucky to have her in your life. I'm sure that she'll be waiting for you.
Great video as always. I learn a great deal,thank you. Blessings and stay safe.
Thank you so much.
this is one of the best explanations I've yet to watch, thanks for breaking something so complex down so simply.
Great video, Christian. Thank you!
Thanks!
Moms are special people, sorry for your loss. Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
So sorry for your loss! Hope you're doing better... Rest in peace, mom!
Thank you, I really appreciate it.
g`day christian i am sorry for your loss mate its good to see you back to making videos i have missed your uploads of great videos full of knowledge and insight and i am looking forward to more videos as other commitments allow you to post... have a great new year mate
cheers
james D
Thank you so much, James. I've missed making videos and it was past time to get back to it. Glad you stuck around while I was away. Happy New Year!
sorry for your loss I know it's tough be thankful for the time you had
Thank you. I’ll always be grateful she existed.
Condolences , sad you lost your mom, she is with god. Glad to have you back
Thank you, Janoy. It's good to be back. I know mom wanted me to get back to work ASAP.
I am sorry for your loss, my mother passed away a few years ago and I know what you’re going thru. My daughter, knowing that when someone dies a new star is born, tells me when she was three years old: I know why you’re looking at the stars, daddy! You are trying to find your mommy!
Awesome content here! Came across you over on the Video Influencers live stream this morning and had to check you out. Low key I am a liiiiiiittle obsessed with space and astronomy .. maybe it goes hand in hand with my travel obsession haha. Excited to watch more here & happy to show some support.
So nice of you to drop by! Thanks!
condolences, and happy you're back making your informative and amusing videos.
respect and greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you, Edward, I appreciate your kind words.
Sorry about your loss. May her memory live on for quite some time!
Thanks Stephen, I appreciate it.
I came here as a result of google probability and find your videos very inspiring. Your comments at the end about your mom are very touching, reminding me of my own mother. Keep inspiring us with your excellent work, please!
I am sorry for your loss buddy.... Keep up the great work and videos.....
Sorry to hear of loss. She looks like a wonderful mother.
For me, this is probably the very best video you’ve done.
Thanks a lot to your mother, where ever she’s now, for making it possible.
Thank you so much. And yes, I do owe her for everything.
Your mom sounds like an amazing, wonderful woman! So sorry for your loss. Your channel is fantastic!
Thank you for the kind words. She really was and I'll miss her. She would have approved of your comment :)
Sorry to hear about your mom. Sounds like she was a fantastic parent.
Side note "Professor Ready" would be a great superhero name.
Thanks man. Mom was the best and I'm glad she made me
Man outstanding video it really teaches a lot about how stars work and how we got here.. I’m very sorry to hear about that loss at the end that is extremely difficult to deal in any circumstance. I am inspired by your videos they interest and teach me a lot about astronomy and the universe I will continue to watch these videos to learn all that I can.
Thank you so kindly. I'm glad that you are enjoying the videos and I'm grateful for your kind words.
Sorry for your loss, Christian. I lost my dad this year. Bereavement is difficult, but they'll always be with us.
A really good video! You don't need to apologise for looking after your mother. She was, obviously, a great mother & you appreciated the support she gave you & were very close. I am sure she found her place in the Universe & will be involved in developing new life! I hope you will be able to find time to make more of your interesting fact-full videos? Again my condolences for your sad loss.
Thanks for sharing.
I have found your channel while browsing for Betelgeuse and immediately subscribed to it. This is amazingly illustrated and informative. Thank you for your time and sorry for your recent loss. Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you so much, I really do appreciate it.
Excellent and easy to follow explanation on how supernovas are formed.
Professor Ready, you are a legend.
Well, my mom was :) Thanks!
Dude, you are marvellous. If there was ever a 'natural' science communicator then you are they. I love your work. (PS, sorry about your mom's passing)
Thank you, Steve , I’m so appreciative of your kind words!
My condolences to you and your family. I know what it's like to lose a loved one. So know that there is nothing to be sorry about and I wish you nothing but prosperity and love in this new year. Just know that your kind words of love and the universe made others feel better. Especially me.
Thank you so much for those kind words, they really do help get through this. Peace to you as well!
this is an absolutely incredible channel. keep up the fantastic work. between you, spacerip and other documentaries it's an endless pool of knowledge!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
What a wonderful tribute to your mom. She must have been very proud of you. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much. I miss her but I’m also glad she existed while she did and made so many tiny changes to Earth along the way.
a small correction: neutrinos, as massive particles, cannot travel at the speed of light. But they are ejected in a supernova at very very close to the speed of light
Thank you so much for this beautiful talk, very educative and so well done. I enjoy it from start to finish !
Great video. Very informative thanks
Thanks so much I appreciate it!
My sincere, if belated, condolences. It sounds like your mother was a very special person. This episode was excellent. Your presentation is very clear. I don't miss a word and the structure of the video is logical and easy to follow.
Sorry for your loss... My mom went back to the universe last December, it's hard... Well thanks for the channel I just found it and watched 2 videos and looking forward to more.. Once again sorry about mom...
Thank you so much, Steve. I'm so sorry for your loss as well. Looks like we're both gonna be navigating on our own but I'm glad to have you along for the ride.
Thanks for your channel. I am really enjoying.
Thank you, Izzy!
I love listening to your voice
Thanks :)
Sorry for your loss. May her soul rest in peace.
I discovered your channel only today, and I really enjoyed the video. Hope to see more from you sir.
Thank you very much for those kind words. I'm glad to have you along for the ride!
Thanks for returning. Missed your vids
Thank you, Alan it's good to be back :)
@@LaunchPadAstronomy really cool to get a reply from you. Any lecture tours planned in the UK I might blag my way into?
@@alanyoung1134 I wish I were visiting the UK but alas, no. :(
Thank you for your wonderful videos, which I have found to be the one of the most informative on astronomy on YT. I am honoured to be able to be a supporter and will be sharing your channel with our kids' high-school science teachers.
I have been going through your past videos and was sorry to hear about your loss of your mother earlier this year. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
Otherwise, I was wondering if you have ever produced a video on gravitational lensing or whether thrre would be interest in a video on various citizen-scientist projects, such as those witb Zooniverse. I was thrilled to be part of, say, the "Ice Hunters" project on identifying potential Kuiper belt objects.
Kudos to our late mothers. To experience our human lifetimes is probably the greatest gift the universe could give us. It took a supernova and a mother to get the job done.
Thank you so much, and I'm sorry you're in the same boat. Cheers to your mother's memory as well.
Thank you so much for your comforting presentation style. You rearrange matter in a very pleasant way.
Thank you so much. I’m so glad you enjoyed the presentation. Peace to you.
A couple of your videos showed up on my feed for a couple of weeks without me paying any attention. I decided to watch the first and this the second... I subscribed and I only subscribe when I'm impressed; and I really am impressed. You are very, very good! I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. I'm sure you meant a lot to her and you miss her incredibly. May Christ give you courage and fill your heart with joy. I know this is a labor of love for you to share your knowledge with the rest of us. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for those kind words about my mom. Appreciate you subscribing and am happy to have you along for the ride. Cheers!
Thanks for the video. This video has the best explanation of the death of massive stars that I have seen. Very informative.
It was my pleasure, and thank you for those kind words!
Those that encourage, assist and educate remain forever the supernovas of our lives - their light, such legacy, stretching out across time and space, never ending until time itself stops. Love, respect and thanks to all those that know how to be Star Stuff, and in this moment, in this watching of your video, to you and your mother. x
everything well explained!!!!
Thank you!
Very nicely put
Thanks so much!
Hey everyone wish you a happy New year.
Have the best year people 🎊🎉🙂
And to you as well!
I'm so sorry for your loss. My mother passed on September 26th from metastatic breast cancer. I miss her so much.
I have seen dozens of CZcams clips and documentaries on Supernovas and yet you still gave me details of which I didn't know
That's very kind of you to say, thanks!
@@LaunchPadAstronomy And I'm very sorry about your recent loss. Hope all is as well as could be
Thank you. It’s very much appreciated.
I am sorry for your loss. Interesting video, especially considering the wacky antics of Betelgeuse lately.
Thank you so much.
wonderful as always, Christian. but, sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. :-(
Thank you, Victor. It's funny how all these months later I'm still asking myself if all of this really happened. But time is moving forward. Best to you for a very happy new year.
Condolences to you & your family. Just thinking about losing my mother causes me to freeze up. Good quality video, love the cosmos.
Thank you, Jason I really appreciate your kind words.
hey been watching your videos for some time now, extremely well-organized content and the explanation part is literally the best I have ever had the privilege to listen to.....
so sorry to listen about your mother tho she must be really proud of what you have done
thanks for educating so many people about the wonders of the universe
not really a person who comments a lot so if I have (I know I must have) made any mistakes please pardon me
have a wonderful day : )
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
"Iron White Dwarf" That sounds like the name of a great norse metal band xD
Brilliant article, concise and easy to listen to. Nice job!
Thanks!
Wow, I really enjoy your all videos. Thank you so much. And, really sorry for the loss of Mom.
Thank you so kindly.
Easily the best explanation of how massive stars die that I have seen or read. This channel really needs to blow up big.
Thanks! Wait...blow up or blow up?
@@LaunchPadAstronomy LOL, blow up big, think supernova, hypernova.
Why did I just discover this channel now? The narration is not over the top like many of today's channels (trying to be nursery funny) and the graphics is impressive.
Thank you, Lester. I'm glad you found the channel and I'm happy to have you along for the ride!
@@LaunchPadAstronomy My mom also died from cancer (breast cancer) last year (September 2019) and channels like yours help me cope with depression. Subscribed for more. 😊 Mabuhay from the Philippines.
I think Betelgeuse may end up being more powerful than we think, the crab nebula is thousands of light years away not hundreds like betelgeuse.
I appreciate u and what u do, and ur mom -Thanks!
Thank you Richard, I appreciate it.
May her rest in peace.🙏🏻 Thank you for this incredibly informative video!
At 3:33, Betelgeuse just looks like very angry popcorn.
I also saw this 6:16 graph and it immediately made me think of a nuclear door stopper.
My heart goes out to you for the loss of your mother.
My condolences, I feel you... Literally. My mom passed 3days later, 9/27. So glad to see you back!
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom as well. We're kind of unmoored in a way and learning to navigate on our own.
Awesome!
My deepest condolences on your mom's passing ❤️
Your channel is amazing. Please keep up the amazing work 🙌
Thank you so much for your kind words. They fire me up.
