A unique dataset of Type Ia supernovae being released today could change how cosmologists measure the expansion history of ...

The Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, is revealed in an unusual light in this exceptionally deep Chandra X-ray ...

New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise ...

A stunning new discovery reveals that white dwarf stars — once thought to explode in predictable ways — actually detonate through an astonishing variety of mechanisms. From star cannibalism to violent ...

Astronomers discover two new supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud, providing insights into stellar explosions and their role in shaping galaxy evolution.

Scientists have uncovered the long-sought mechanism behind low-field magnetars, showing that supernova fallback material ...

The subject of this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image is a supernova-hosting galaxy located about 600 million light-years ...

One such discovery was the identification of the most distant so-called core-collapse supernova ever confirmed. These explosions mark the end of life for massive stars, and this supernova occurred ...

Astronomers still can’t entirely account for the explosive power of a supernova. “It was thought that this rebounding shock that’s produced when the neutron star forms could explode the star ...

Astrophysicists have unearthed a surprising diversity in the ways in which white dwarf stars explode in deep space after assessing almost 4,000 such events captured in detail by a next-gen ...

Hubble captures supernova SN 2022aajn in Gemini, aiding research on cosmic distances and intergalactic dust effects.
