Could passing through a higher density of dark matter initiate a stellar core collapse in a star that is close to going supernova already?
What other factors can contribute to a star's core collapse?
Some factors that can contribute to a star's core collapse are: running out of fuel for nuclear reactions, depletion of helium in the core, changes in the star's mass, and other external factors such as interactions with nearby stars or other celestial bodies.
