It took about 50 exploding stars to upend cosmology. Researchers mapped and measured light from Type Ia supernovae, the ...

Supernova has the opportunity to give Monsterverse fans a real big-screen introduction to perhaps the most terrifying original Titan.

The two objects make for a strange pair. Unlike Betelgeuse, which is approaching the end of its life, the blue-white ...

For the first time, astronomers have spotted a star that exploded not once, but twice. A new image of a roughly 300-year-old supernova provides visual evidence that some dying stars undergo a double ...

Pictures of a distant supernova remnant show two concentric rings, providing clear evidence that exploding white dwarf stars ...

An unusual star system created more of a fizz and less of a bang when it exploded in a supernova. The “ultra-stripped” supernova led researchers to discover the two stars 11,000 light-years ...

A newly discovered supernova can be watched as it develops in real-time online and for free. The event will kick off at 6:00 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT) on Thursday, May 25.

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

The stunning Supernova 1987A is roughly 168,000 light-years away from Earth and located in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The supernova, named SN 2023ixf, is located 21 million light-years away. It should remain visible with the aid of a telescope for at least a few months, astronomers said.

And the supernova doesn't have to be so close to us for its cosmic rays to be deadly—within 30 to 50 light years to trigger a mass extinction, depending on the local interstellar medium and the ...
