The generative artwork in inspired by powerful and luminous stellar explosions, also known as "supernova". The peak optical luminosity of a supernova can be comparable to that of an entire galaxy before fading over several weeks or months.

"There are two common routes to a supernova: either a massive star may run out of fuel, ceasing to generate fusion energy in its core, and collapsing inward under the force of its own gravity to form a neutron star or a black hole; or a white dwarf star may accrete material from a companion star until it reaches a critical mass and undergoes a thermonuclear explosion." (Wikipedia)

The work is an abstract representation of the luminous peak of the second case.

It was developed using Threejs and custom shaders.

It can have several iteractions of the explosion, based on the rarity, distributed as follow:

~60%: 2 iteractions, common
~27.5%: 3 iteractions, uncommon
~10%: 4 iteractions, rare
~2.5%: 5 iteractions, ultrarare
