An international team of astronomers has conducted photometric and spectroscopic observations of a recently discovered ...

SN 2024abfl, a low-luminosity Type IIP supernova in the galaxy NGC 2146. This rare find is shedding new light on how stars ...

Supernova 1987A appeared in the far-southern constellation of Doradus (the Swordfish), in which the Large Magellanic Cloud is ...

Supernovae, the explosive deaths of stars, are some of the universe's biggest bursts of energy and light. When they erupt, one supernova can shine even brighter than an entire galaxy. It's a fitting ...

Exploding stars in near-solar space may have triggered at least two mass extinction events in Earth's history. An analysis of the frequency of supernova explosions in the Milky Way, led by ...

When a star explodes, it sends high-energy particles out in all directions. This burst of energy can travel through space for thousands of light-years, traversing solar systems and even galaxies. The ...

It’s easy to forget that stars, just like us, have lifetimes. They’re born, they live, and eventually, they die. And for some stars, their death is dramatic, producing an explosion so powerful it can ...

The final stage of cataclysmic explosions of dying massive stars, called supernovae, could pack an up to six times bigger punch on the surrounding interstellar gas with the help of cosmic rays, ...

The visible universe is a big place. Like, really, really big — some 93 billion lightyears across (via Futurism). To put that in perspective, that's like running 25 billion back-to-back marathons, and ...

Few things have more influence in the cosmos than the most violent celestial death we know of: the supernova. These stellar finales are so extreme that not only do they shape the space directly around ...
