What is a kernel panic? (Mac OS X)

I believed most of the Mac OS user see this screen before. Most of your will feel panic when u see this screen. After this screen appear, your just need to press power button off and on your Mac. Your system will back to normal. But i think your do not know what was happening. It is because the kernel of an operating system receives an instruction in an unexpected format, or that it fails to handle properly. A kernel panic may also follow when the operating system is not able to recover from a different type of error. A kernel panic can be caused by damaged or incompatible software or, more rarely, damaged or incompatible hardware.
