: Well, if you read the title to this message, you can just about get what I was asking. So what are supernovae?
: What is the difference between them and normal novae?
Actually novae are just random blips of explosions of stars. Sometimes novae cause stars to explode with light. Supernovae only occur when large red supergiants explode. That's all. Anymore questions?
