Apr 15, 2018 at 5:10 comment added jamesqf @Mołot: Not only is it possible for a binary star to become a supernova, there's one kind (Type 1a: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_Ia_supernova ) that requires a binary system.

Apr 13, 2018 at 16:13 comment added Raditz_35 Can you define what you mean by "destroy" ?
Apr 13, 2018 at 15:52 comment added James This question is fine here. Raznarok it is your choice to leave it here or move the question to astronomy.

Apr 13, 2018 at 15:03 comment added AlexP From the Amazing XKCD: "which of the following would be brigher, in terms of the amount of energy delivered to your retina: a supernova, seen from as far away as the Sun is from the Earth, or the detonation of a hydrogen bomb pressed against your eyeball?" Hint: it's not the thermonuclear bomb.

Apr 13, 2018 at 14:18 comment added Mołot @Raznarok without answers and votes deletion here and asking there is least complicated way. As I've said, you do not have to delete here. It is ok to have similar topics on two different stacks asked, as long as both questions are tailored to the sites they are asked on. Astronomy does not deal with fiction, but they do deal with possibilities about binary stars and novas and if such event occurred or is suspected to occur, they'll probably know. And reality is a good start for worldbuilding.
Apr 13, 2018 at 14:16 comment added Razmode Is migration possible or should I delete and make s new one over there?
Apr 13, 2018 at 14:15 comment added Mołot This is borderline on-topic here, but I think I agree with @RonJohn. First thing to ask would be - can there exist a binary star with one star going nova. If it can exist, build from there.
Apr 13, 2018 at 14:11 comment added RonJohn I suggest you strip out the scenario stuff and ask Astronomy.SE.
