Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Massive stars undergo supernova explosions due to core collapse at the end of their lifecycle.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently confirms that massive stars terminate their evolution through core-collapse supernova explosions. Multiple papers explicitly discuss massive stellar progenitors and the core-collapse mechanism driving these events.
