Supernova structure

Stellar evolution has a specific geometry to it whether as the antecedent supernova star or after the event occurred - https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0701/sn1987a_hst.jpg |

Supernova structure
Trying to link the great supernova events which were observed long before telescopes came on the scene with hypothetical theoretical junk is perhaps the last act of vandalism by the empiricists and their celestial sphere buddies.
The idea of a transition phase where a supernova creates a solar system rather than the death of a star maintains the integrity of galactic structure but these stellar evolutionary processes then raise a number of interesting points which are not easy to resolve. |

Then why don’t you stop doing it?

Hypothetical junk. |

Tempting though it is to imagine that that recent blank response was due to the respondent belatedly recalling the old adage that if one has nothing nice to say, better to say nothing, but more likely truth was that hungry for attention, their pet pussycat chose that particular moment to sit on their keyboard. |

To a very good approximation stars are spherical with a small equatorial bulge determined by their rotation period. The shorter their rotation period the more oblate they are. Jupiter with an 8 hour period is obviously oblate whereas the sun with a ~23 day period is almost perfectly spherical. When stars evolve to their giant phase the effective surface gravity at their equator means that the outward solar wind is strongest in the equatorial plane. Planetary nebulae like M57 and (misleadingly named for how they looked a bit like planetary disks in early telescopes) are examples of stars shedding their outer atmosphere in later life. How they appear to us on Earth depends on the angle between our line of sight and their spin axis.

Planetary nebulae like M57 and (misleadingly named for how they looked a bit like planetary disks in early telescopes) are examples of stars shedding their outer atmosphere in later life. The geometry of two large external rings and a smaller intersecting ring surrounding a post-supernova star indicate that not only do stars survive but a solar system emerges from the spectacular transition. I would like to think there is enough spirit left in a person that they wouldn't shut out the possibility even aside from the fact that I worked on these rings long before they were observed in May 1994. |
