In our galaxy, a supernova explodes about once or twice each century. But historical astronomical records show that the last ...

Astronomers have captured the first radio signals from a rare supernova, revealing intense activity in a star’s final years before it exploded.

Astronomers detected radio waves from a rare exploding star, revealing what happens in the final years before a massive star ...

Astronomers evaluate how the Vera C. Rubin Observatory can detect and localize the next Milky Way core-collapse supernova using neutrino alerts and optical surveys.

What happens to a large star near the end of its lifetime before it explodes as a supernova? This is what a recent study ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new Type II supernova. The newly detected supernova, named SN Eos, exploded when the universe was ...

The signals provide astronomers with a look into the life, and death, of a massive star exploding into a supernova.

Exploding stars in near-solar space may have triggered at least two mass extinction events in Earth's history. An analysis of the frequency of supernova explosions in the Milky Way, led by ...

The largest component of the universe is something we know almost nothing about. The best and most accurate observations that cosmologists have gathered over decades show that all the matter around us ...

Supernovae, the explosive deaths of stars, are some of the universe's biggest bursts of energy and light. When they erupt, one supernova can shine even brighter than an entire galaxy. It's a fitting ...

It’s easy to forget that stars, just like us, have lifetimes. They’re born, they live, and eventually, they die. And for some stars, their death is dramatic, producing an explosion so powerful it can ...
