Scientific paper

Supernovae and their role in stellar and galactic evolution are examined. The cataclysmic explosion of a dying star is described, and the detection of galactic and extragalactic supernovae is considered within the framework of the determination of the frequency of supernova events. Stellar nucleosynthesis is examined as the source of elements heavier than helium up to the iron group, and the role of neutron and proton capture mechanisms in supernova explosions in the formation of elements heavier than iron and the dispersion of all elements is discussed. Finally, the role of a shock wave from a nearby supernova in the collapse of the protosolar nebula and the formation of the solar system is considered.
