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 companion (or Betelbuddy) has yet to start burning hydrogen in its core. In other ...

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 ...

MUSE allows astronomers to map the distribution of different chemical elements, displayed here in different colours. Calcium is shown in blue, and it is arranged in two concentric shells. These two ...

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 ...

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

"This tangible evidence of a double detonation not only contributes towards solving a long-standing mystery, but also offers ...

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

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.

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