The hypothesis is suggested that the cause of the explosion of supernova stars is the development of a fusion chain reaction in stellar material containing a large amount of He3 at high densities (~2×104 g/cc). It is suggested that the conditions suitable to a strong concentration of He3 exist only for relatively small hyd rogen stars. The strength of the explosion is proportional to the amount of He3 amassed which strongly depends on the mass of the star. The proto-stars with masses smaller than the mass of the sun lead to supernovae of type I and the proto-stars with masses equal to or greater than the mass of the sun lead to supernovae of type II. The remnant of a supernova of type I is the gaseous nebula of luminosity due to the decay of Be7 created during the explosion in the reaction He4(He3, γ)Be7.
