A spaceship with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen will blow up quite well in the vacuum of space. Chemical explosives will also explode in space since they function by breaking weakly bonded chemical components; no oxygen is necessary. Nuclear explosions can of course occur in space, too.
A supernova lasts between one to two years. This type of explosion usually happens because the core of the star has collapsed in on itself. The collapse happens in about less than a second, then the outer layers of the star are blown off in a mighty explosion.
