Is there anything more dramatic than an exploding star? More than just extraordinarily bright, energetic events that can ...
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.
This revelation means scientists might have to rethink Type II supernova models, which would result in some of these cosmic ...
If a massive star near Earth exploded into a supernova, the result wouldn’t just be beautiful — it would be catastrophic.
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 ...
