What causes a star to become a supernova?

Very massive stars can undergo core collapse when nuclear fusion suddenly becomes unable to sustain the core against its own gravity; this is the cause of all types of supernova except type Ia. The collapse may cause violent expulsion of the outer layers of the star resulting in a supernova.

What magnification do you need to see bacteria?

At 400x magnification you will be able to see bacteria, blood cells and protozoans swimming around. At 1000x magnification you will be able to see these same items, but you will be able to see them even closer up.

What determines the properties of an element?

These outer-shell electrons (called valence electrons) are important in determining the chemical properties of the elements. An element's chemical properties are determined by the way in which its atoms interact with other atoms.

What is the use of the sphygmomanometer?

A sphygmomanometer is the gauge used to measure blood pressure. The sphygmomanometer reads both systolic and diastolic pressure. A doctor takes these measurements by putting on the cuff and pumping it up, which cuts off the blood flow.

How long is an exact year?

A solar year is the time it takes the Earth to complete its orbit around the Sun — about one year. But the actual time it takes for the Earth to travel around the Sun is in fact a little longer than that—about 365 ¼ days (365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds, to be precise).

@askmenow
When does the brain stop growing?

We used to think that the brain was fully developed by very early teenagerhood and we now realise that the brain doesn't stop developing until mid-20s or even early 30s. There's a lot more information and evidence to suggest that actually brain development in various forms goes on throughout the life span.
