This is not to be confused with a supernova, a star's "core collapse" that leads to its complete destruction. According to NASA, that can only happen to stars about eight times the mass of our sun.

"The prevailing theory is that FRBs come from magnetars formed through core-collapse supernovae," said Northwestern's Tarraneh Eftekhari, who led one of the studies and coauthored the other.
