As an aspiring astrophysicist, I know a thing or two about space. I also know that space is super cool and almost everyone I've ever talked to wants to learn more about it. This is a technique of studying I do with friends and family, as by teaching something that I know, if better cements that concept into my brain.
Fair warning: I don't know everything, and I will let you know if what you're asking is out of my grasp. But I'm pretty good, so fire away.

How do scientists know that our sun will not go supernova. From my understanding a supernova happens when solid matter is formed at a stars core therefore it collapses into itself. How do they know our sun won't form solid matter and explode?
