In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help astronomers find a supernova right as it begins. At this very moment, ...

The protocol used to find these young supernova explosions could be used on data from the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory. The early stages of a supernova explosion are revelatory in what they can ...

A supernova remnant, Cassiopeia A (Cas A), resulting from a stellar explosion approximately 11,000 years ago, is being studied using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). JWST observations focus on a ...

A new discovery about what happens when a supernova – an exploding star – and a black hole collide could change the way scientists understand the lives and deaths of stars. The finding was the first ...

This powerful side-by-side comparison shows just how bright a star explosion is. Recently, the Hubble Space Telescope captured a before-and-after image of a star exploding brightly. With the images ...

My hypothesis is that remnants of a supernova—an exploding star —had an impact on Earth's past climate, causing global cooling, between 3 million and 2.6 million years ago and that this indirectly ...
