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 ...
NASA’s IXPE observatory and the Dark Energy Camera revealed detailed images of SN 185, a supernova that exploded in AD 185.
A Northwestern University-led team of astronomers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to discover a former star that exploded millions of years ago. The star, which was in a nearby galaxy, exploded ...
Astronomers have, for the first time, recorded the moment a star’s explosion broke through its surface. The nearby supernova, SN 2024ggi, revealed a surprisingly olive-shaped blast when studied with ...
A new analysis from NASA using the Hubble Space Telescope shows that the Crab Nebula, the remnant of a supernova recorded in 1054, is still rapidly expanding, offering rare, direct evidence that the ...

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and these signals offer new insights into how massive stars meet their demise.
Scientists have detected the most distant supernova ever seen, exploding when the universe was less than a billion years old. The event was first signaled by a gamma-ray burst and later confirmed ...
Artist’s conception of a magnetar surrounded by an accretion disk that is wobbling, or precessing, because of the effects of general relativity. Some models of magnetars suggest that high-speed jets ...
