"But we won't know until we can watch it happening," Davies added. The opportunity to watch a supernova explosion in real-time has so far eluded astronomers. The closest observation so far has ...

A team of astronomers recently captured a series of images of a distant star as it went supernova, providing a remarkable play-by-play of stellar death and possibly the birth of a black hole.

It's a new frontier in making space more immersive, accessible, and real. Let's dive into a few ... remnant from an ancient stellar explosion or supernova. This wave could have interacted with ...

All supernovae are exploding stars. But the nature of a supernova explosion varies quite a bit. One type, named Type 1a supernovae, involves a binary star where one of the pair is a white dwarf. And ...

That will provide a much more reliable picture of GRB 221009 A’s evolution, helping reveal whether the claimed supernova brightening was indeed real, or just a spurious artifact. Kirshner says ...

Scientists using radio wavelength data from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) spotted a strangely ...

A star that winked out of view could be a “failed supernova,” a stellar explosion that petered out instead of fully detonating, a new study reports. If real, the failed supernova would mark ...

but if real, it may help explain how the central white dwarf managed to survive the supernova partially intact, Cunningham says. The strange star caught the attention of University of Hong Kong ...
