Massive stars live dramatically different lives from smaller stars. Their immense gravity creates extreme core temperatures, allowing fusion of heavier elements beyond helium.
These stars race through their fuel in a fraction of the time, shining brightly but briefly. Their internal structure becomes layered, with different fusion reactions happening in shells.
Eventually, fusion can no longer support the core. When that happens, collapse is sudden and catastrophic.
