The difference between supernovas and kilonovas #Space #Science @Sydonahi

Dr. Héloïse Stevance posts on Twitter the differences between a star supernova and the smaller kilonova:

SUPERNOVA: the explosion of a massive star dying or of a white Dwarf getting too big. They produce the star stuff we are made of like calcium!

KILONOVA: The explosion resulting from the merger of two Neutron Stars! These create rarer elements we find in our jewellery and smartphones like Gold, Palladium, Platinum, Silver and rare earth elements!

She also posted these great summary graphics on Supernovas and Kilonovas (scroll to see):
