New chemistry ‘forensics’ indicates that the stone named Hypatia from the Egyptian desert could be the first physical evidence found on Earth of a supernova…
Western Sydney University researchers, together with an international team of experts, have discovered a mysterious circular ring near our neighboring galaxy that could be the…
Study including University of Chicago researchers analyzes aftermath of 2014 supernova. An international group of astronomers has uncovered new clues about a mysterious stellar explosion…
The discovery helps explain the puzzle of hydrogen loss pre-supernova, and supports the theory that most massive stars are paired. It’s not unheard of to…
A multinational team of astronomers led by Benjamin Thomas of The University of Texas at Austin has used observations from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) at…
Gamma ray observatory H.E.S.S. reveals a cosmic particle acceleration process in unprecedented detail. With the help of special telescopes, researchers have observed a cosmic particle…
Strange ‘sonic boom’ accompanied unprecedented event. Mysterious X-rays observed 3.5 years after the merger of two neutron stars Astrophysicists believe a kilonova afterglow or materials…
The Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-long bursts of radiation recorded on radio waves. They are extremely powerful — for example, during one of the…
In a case of cosmic mistaken identity, an international team of astronomers revealed that what they once thought was a supernova is actually periodic flaring…
It’s another first for astronomy. For the first time, a team of astronomers has imaged in real-time as a red supergiant star reached the end…
We often think of supernova explosions as inevitable for large stars. Big star runs out of fuel, gravity collapses its core, and BOOM! But astronomers…
Using a University of Hawaiʻi telescope on Haleakala and another on Maunakea, astronomers, for the very first time, imaged the dramatic end to a red…
Two Hawai’i Telescopes Capture a Massive Star Moments Before Going Supernova For the very first time, astronomers have imaged in real time the dramatic end…
Astronomers Capture Red Supergiant’s Death Throes “For the first time, we watched a red supergiant star explode,” researcher says. For the first time ever, astronomers…
A remarkable link between the number of nearby exploding stars, called supernovae and life on Earths has been discovered. Evidence demonstrates a close connection between…
What Are Supernovae? A supernova is the colossal explosion of a star. Scientists have identified several types of supernova. One type, called a “core-collapse” supernova,…
An international research team has performed a new measurement of an important astrophysical reaction, 22Mg(a, p)25Al, providing essential experimental data for understanding the light curve…
