This slide set follows the evolution of stars greater than one solar mass through their various stages.
Graphics show the steps leading to a supernova explosion and expansion of a remnant.
Several slides show recent supernovae such as 1987A , M81, and M51. Light echoes and expansion of materials around 1987A made with Hubble are included along with images of several other remnants. Other slides deal with neutron stars, black holes, pulsars, polar jets, the exit cone concept, a comparison of type 1 and type 2 supernovae, and a 1987A light curve.
