Type 1A Progenitor

The image is a depiction of a binary star. One as a white dwarf and the other as a red giant. The music depicts the formation of a Type 1A supernova. The music swells at three points. The first two swells indicate the growth of each star into a red giant. The final swell indicates the passing of the Chandrasekhar limit thus resulting in a Type 1A supernova.
