Caltech astronomer Mansi Kasliwal and her colleagues were not expecting to chase a mystery that blurred the line between a supernova and a kilonova. Yet that is where the evidence has led after an ...

In our galaxy, a supernova explodes about once or twice each century. But historical astronomical records show that the last ...

Astronomers detected radio waves from a rare exploding star, revealing what happens in the final years before a massive star ...

A distant stellar explosion has offered astronomers a rare natural experiment, one that turns gravity into a powerful optical tool. The object, known as SN 2025wny, appears not once but four times in ...

Earlier this year, a powerful gamma-ray burst traveled through space from a very distant source in the cosmos. The explosion was traced back to the early universe, just millions of years after the Big ...
