DS1, collapsed into a black hole without exploding, revealing how stars die in silent “failed supernova” events.

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

A team of astronomers recently had to act fast to obtain a never-before-seen image of a dying star. The supernova explosion SN 2024ggi was first detected on April 10, 2024. The scientist leading the ...

Astronomers are reporting a highly complex and potentially groundbreaking cosmic event that may be the first-ever observed "superkilonova," an ultra-powerful explosion produced by two closely timed ...

This supernova is one for the record books. A mammoth star explosion known as SN2016aps, which occurred in a galaxy about 3.6 billion light-years from Earth, is the brightest supernova ever seen, a ...

A distant stellar explosion has offered astronomers a rare natural experiment, one that turns gravity into a powerful optical tool. The object, known as SN 2025wny, appears not once but four times in ...

It's never too late to solve a cold case. A new paper from Syracuse University researchers proposes an explanation for both a mysterious stellar object discovered in the year 2013 and an astronomical ...
