An example of metaphor and simile in popular science writing
"For a short time the output of energy is staggering, but when the outburst is spent all that is left is a patch of expanding gas together with a very small, super-dense 'stellar wreck' made up of particles called neutrons. In fact, a supernova represents the death-agony of a very massive star."
