Is there anything more dramatic than an exploding star? More than just extraordinarily bright, energetic events that can ...

This revelation means scientists might have to rethink Type II supernova models, which would result in some of these cosmic ...

V Sagittae’s violent mass transfer hints at an imminent nova—and a future supernova visible from Earth. Binary star systems are fairly common in the universe, as are pairs where one star is a compact ...

Astronomers observe Type II supernova SN 2024bch behaving differently, with energy from Bowen fluorescence rather than ejecta interaction, challenging models of stellar death and high-energy neutrino ...

Supernova remnants, stellar nurseries and more populate the new edge-on view of the Milky Way as seen from Earth’s southern hemisphere.

Astronomers observed the fading light of supernova SN 2025kg, which followed the fast X-ray transient (FXT) named EP 250108a.

SN2021yfj is a new kind of supernova, challenging our understanding of stellar evolution. Its progenitor lost its outer shells well before the supernova happened and only consisted of its ...

The first double-burst supernova ever observed, SNR 0509, is a historic discovery that reveals how white dwarfs explode in the cosmos.

Astrophotographer David Joyce, based in Kentucky, offers us a spectacular window into the cosmic remains of a giant star that ...

A rare supernova let scientists glimpse a star's interior, revealing a dense silicon-sulphur shell and unexpected helium that should have vanished earlier. (Nanowerk News) An exploding star has given ...
