An international team of astronomers has achieved a first in probing the early universe, using the James Webb Space Telescope ...

The combination of a supernova and a kilonova may have produced a rare space explosion that astronomers have never seen ...

The bright binary star system V Sagittae will flare up multiple times before finally going supernova within the next 100 years. When it explodes, it could be visible to the naked eye even in sunlit ...

Astronomers have discovered a supernova so distant that it dates back to a time when the cosmos was still very young, thus ...

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

In a strange turn of events, a supernova birthed twin baby neutron stars that merged to make a powerful kilonova.

A puzzling cosmic blast detected in both light and gravitational waves may hint at a previously unseen type of explosion, challenging astronomers to rethink how neutron stars are born and collide.

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 ...

Learn more about the supernova, which is more than a billion years older than the previous record-holder.

The results indicate that the elements essential for life formed within extreme, highly energetic environments deep inside stars, far removed from the calm conditions required for life itself. The ...
