Beriand welcome a supernova is a the resulting explosion of a star with a mass of over eight times the mass of the Sun.
There is no rocks or ice or any other solid matter, as a star is made primarily of super heated gases, mainly hydrogen and helium with a smattering of other gases.
I hope this helps
