A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

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

Astronomers have watched a dying star fail to explode as a supernova, instead collapsing into a black hole. The remarkable sighting is the most complete observational record ever made of a star's ...

Kishalay De, an alumnus of St James’ School and currently at Columbia University, has helped solve the mystery, showing that the star collapsed directly into a black hole — without the usual supernova ...

One of the brightest stars in the Andromeda galaxy quietly collapsed into a black hole without any of the fanfare of a spectacular supernova. What makes this startling discovery even more remarkable ...

The team discovered the star by analyzing archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission. They used a prediction from the 1970s that theorized that when a star underwent direct collapse, it would leave ...

It is easy to observe when stars explode in a supernova and become a black hole. It is different when they simply collapse.

Astronomers have captured the first radio signals from a rare supernova, revealing intense activity in a star’s final years before it exploded.

WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - The formation of a black hole can be quite a violent event, with a massive dying star blowing up and some of its remnants collapsing to form an exceptionally dense ...
