When a supernova explosion occurs, we would see; a bright flash of light (about a billion times brighter than the sun) lasting for a few months, an expanding cloud of gas which appears years later and expands rapidly from the site of the explosion, the creation of a great variety of heavy elements not produced by normal fusion reactions, stimulation of star formation in neighboring clouds of gas as the expanding debris "snow plows" through them, and the production of stellar crumbs in the form of a black hole.
