This is a massive star that exploded 35,000 years ago, and the deep-sky image just won an award – a first in the prestigious ...
Indian astronomer Kishalay De led study revealed one of the clearest cases of a massive star collapsing directly into a black hole without a supernova, based on NASA NEOWISE data.
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 object with gravity so ​strong not ...
A massive star roughly 2.5 million light-years away in the Andromeda Galaxy has quietly disappeared, and the best explanation ...
The event was first recorded in 2014, when a Nasa space telescope noticed a massive star in the Andromeda galaxy slowly ...
Their research was guided by a prediction from the 1970s: if a star collapses directly into a black hole, it should briefly glow in infrared light as it sheds its outer layers and becomes wrapped in ...
In 2014, a NASA telescope observed that the infrared light emitted by a massive star in the Andromeda galaxy gradually grew brighter. The star glowed more intensely with infrared light for around ...
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 ...
The team discovered the star by analyzing archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission. They used a prediction from the 1970s ...
A “disappearing” star in the Andromeda galaxy is the closest and best candidate for a newborn black hole that astronomers have ever seen ...
Astronomers have captured the first radio signals from a rare supernova, revealing intense activity in a star’s final years before it exploded. The discovery suggests a companion star may have driven ...
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Exploding trees may be taking over your social media feed, but a local gardening expert says you are unlikely to see them in your own backyard. Rick Vuyst, the former CEO ...
