Since astronomers captured the bright explosion of a star on February 24, 1987, researchers have been searching for the squashed stellar core that should have…
Astronomers used Chandra to detect an important type of titanium in the supernova remnant Cas A. This titanium is predicted to form in bubbles that…
eROSITA space telescope finds largest supernova remnant ever discovered with X-rays. In the first all-sky survey by the eROSITA X-ray telescope onboard SRG, astronomers at…
What remains of the star that exploded just outside our galaxy in 1987? Debris has obscured scientists’ view, but two of NASA’s X-ray telescopes have…
Astronomers now have evidence from two X-ray telescopes (Chandra and NuSTAR) for a key component of a famous supernova remnant. Supernova 1987A was discovered on…
Scientists have discovered the first evidence for a rare type of stellar explosion, or supernova in the Milky Way. This intriguing object lies near the…
A new machine learning algorithm trained only with real data has classified over 2,300 supernovae with over 80% accuracy. Artificial intelligence is classifying real supernova…
Michigan State University researchers have discovered that one of the most important reactions in the universe can get a huge and unexpected boost inside exploding…
Massive explosions of energy happening thousands of light-years from Earth may have left traces in our planet’s biology and geology, according to new research by…
Scientists at CU Boulder are developing a satellite about the size of a toaster oven to explore one of the cosmos’ most fundamental mysteries: How…
Massive stars end their lives with energetic explosions known as supernova explosions. ‘Stripped-envelope supernovae’ show weak or no traces of hydrogen in its ejecta, meaning…
Between a decline in biodiversity and a series of extinction events, the Late Devonian period was not the most hospitable time on Earth. And then…
The NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope has tracked the fading light of a supernova in the spiral galaxy NGC 2525, located 70 million light years away….
When a star unleashes as much energy in a matter of days as our Sun does in several billion years, you know it’s not going…
Discovery of iron-60 and manganese-53 substantiates supernova 2.5 million years ago. When the brightness of the star Betelgeuse dropped dramatically a few months ago, some…
A mystery surrounding the space around our solar system is unfolding thanks to evidence of supernovae found in deep-sea sediments. Professor Anton Wallner, a nuclear…
Called “calcium-rich supernovae,” these stellar explosions are so rare that astrophysicists have struggled to find and subsequently study them. The nature of these supernovae and…
