Dimension: 235 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 930.
Supernovae, hypernovae and gamma-ray bursts are among the most energetic explosions in the universe.

Most of the heavy elements in the universe are formed within these energetic explosions. Surprisingly enough, the collapse of massive stars is the primary source of not just one, but all three of these explosions.
As all of these explosions arise from stellar collapse, to understand one requires an understanding of the others. Stellar Collapse marks the first book ... Read more
