2D early development of the explosion of the core of a massive star

A radiation-diffusion/hydrodynamic simulation of the early development in 2D of the explosion of the core of a massive star. The resulting supernova is dominated by instabilities and explodes as fingers into the outer burning shells. The blue-green interface marks the silicon-oxygen boundary of the progenitor star that is collapsing in to meet the supernova shock, which then encompasses it. The scale is 2500 kilometers.
