Description
When a star's life is coming to an end there are a number of ways in which it can die, and more than one stage to that death. Some stars cast their outer layers into space leaving a hot dense core to cool over eons while others die in one of the universe's most fiery spectacles, a Supernova.
A Supernova can shine as brightly as an entire galaxy of billions of "normal" stars. In some cases the star is completely destroyed by the explosion while others leave behind either a super dense Neutron Star or a Black Hole. No matter how a star dies its death is one of incredible explosive energy and absolute mass destruction for any neighboring planets, moons, comets asteroids and of course any life.
In this painting I wanted to capture the instant that the star goes Supernova - that moment when everything within the star's sphere of influence hangs in the balance, waiting to feel the fury of the dying star's final moments.
