Modern high-energy-density facilities, which include lasers and Z pinches, are able to heat cubic millimeters of matter to millions of degrees. This has led to the development of the new field of high-energy-density physics. During the past decade, a community has emerged with a focus on the application of these facilities to problems posed by nature's own high-energy-density laboratories, such as exploding stars. During the next decade, further possibilities will be opened up as new facilities become available, including two "megalasers" - the National Ignition Facility in the U.S. and the Laser MegaJoule in France. Through work in the past several years, we have developed and demonstrated an approach through which work in a given area can impact our understanding of nature. We will review this approach as it has played out in the simulation of supernova explosions. We will also survey the state and progress of this new field in other areas, including supernova remnants, jets, radiative shocks. A look to the future will also be presented.
