The development of and the processes associated with explosion of type I and type II supernovae are summarized, with the main mechanism of the supernova explosion being the collapse and rebound of a large star upon the exhaustion of nuclear fuel. Among the effective ways of studying the explosion processes a note is made of the detection of neutrinos, which carry information about the internal processes, and electromagnetic radiation, which is attenuated largely by the outer shells of the star. Attention is also paid to the observations of relative abundances of the chemical elements in the universe. Finally the significant role of computer simulation is pointed out.
