A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...

For the very first time, astronomers have captured a radio signal emitted by a very specific type of stellar explosion. This unprecedented observation offers us a glimpse into the final moments of ...

Only one such event had been documented previously, a star recorded vanishing around 2010 in a galaxy 22 million light-years ...

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and ...

An international team of astronomers has conducted photometric and spectroscopic observations of a recently discovered ...

The team discovered the star by analyzing archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission. They used a prediction from the 1970s that theorized that when a star underwent direct collapse, it would leave ...

Several telescopes used to observe the supernova SN Zwicky which was magnified nearly 25 times by a foreground galaxy acting ...

Scientists have revealed for the first time a jaw-dropping early view of an exploding supernova. Observations with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) have revealed ...

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 ...
