Scientists trying to work out whether a star exploded and the resulting debris crashed into Earth 10 million years ago may be one step closer to solving the mystery. They discovered an unusual amount ...

A companion star may have stripped silicon layers. This provided a new window into stellar death. Astronomers have observed the inner layers of a dying star through a rare type of stellar explosion ...

In a recent groundbreaking discovery in astrophysics, astronomers have unveiled the presence of a “ghost star” nestled within the remnants of a supernova. This novel find sheds light on the life ...

There are signs deep beneath the Pacific Ocean that an exploding star once sent cosmic rays blasting out towards Earth, and ...

The supernova explosion, designated as SN 2018gv, is found in the spiral galaxy NGC 2525. According to NASA, Hubble began observing the supernova after an amateur astronomer named Koichi Itagaki first ...

When a star dies in a massive explosion, it leaves behind a supernova remnant - an expanding cloud of gas and dust that tells the story of its violent end. Thanks to Hubble’s breathtaking 4K images, ...

Astronomers have witnessed a rare “extremely stripped supernova” that exposed the inner silicon layers of a dying star, confirming theories of stellar fusion and offering new insight into how ...

Astronomers have discovered an extraordinary celestial system containing a runaway pulsar fleeing the scene of a massive stellar supernova explosion. What makes this system even more spectacular is ...

The universe is full of extreme phenomena. Perhaps this is what draws some people to astronomy — it has some of the most extreme physics out there. And supernovae are some of the most extraordinary ...

The close proximity of Venus and the Crab Nebula (M1) in the predawn sky offers a modern parallel to the supernova observation of 1054 AD, allowing for simultaneous viewing of both celestial objects.
