 Definition An astronomical object exploding to a brightness similar to that of an entire galaxy. Caused by a catastrophic explosion of either a white dwarf system or an aged star about five times the size of the sun, which occurs when the star collapses; a neutron star or a black hole may be formed as a result, or the explosion results in no remaining compact object.

Diagram about nuclear binding energy

I added a diagram and chose to center it and interrupt the text flow. I think this is appropriate because the diagram is not a 'comment' but rather a vital part of the text. I realise that you may disagree, however. Johan A. Förberg 13:45, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
