Stars that are about 10 times more massive than the Sun go through a more rapid life cycle. After exhausting their nuclear fuel, they expand into red supergiants and eventually undergo a supernova explosion. The core collapses, potentially forming a neutron star or, if massive enough, a black hole. This explosive end contributes to the enrichment of the interstellar medium with heavy elements.
