Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope and gravitational lensing to observe SN Eos, an ordinary supernova from the ...

NASA has released an unprecedented time-lapse video showing the evolution of Kepler’s Supernova Remnant, a cosmic relic of a massive stellar explosion. Captured by the Chandra X-ray Observatory over ...

"Our study provides a new direction to understand the whole evolutionary history of massive stars toward the formation of ...

Astronomers have been able to catch the earliest phases of supernova explosions with one of the most powerful observatories on Earth. These incredible observations have provided our first look at what ...

This illustration charts the evolution of the SNR 1181 remnant, from its creation when a carbon-oxygen-based white dwarf and oxygen-neon white dwarf merged, to the formation of its two shock regions.

What we know of the birth of a black hole has traditionally aligned with our perception of black holes themselves: dark, ...

Simulation studies indicate water formation within the first 200 million years of the universe, primarily through supernovae from the first generation of stars. Pair-instability supernovae, occurring ...

Two of Earth's largest mass extinction events were likely triggered by the fallout from two supernovae in nearby space. This is the conclusion of a team of researchers from Keele University, England, ...

Through a phenomenon called gravitational lensing, three different moments in a far-off supernova explosion were captured in a single snapshot by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The light from the ...

A mysterious remnant from a rare type of supernova recorded in 1181 has been explained for the first time. Two white dwarf stars collided, creating a temporary 'guest star,' now labeled supernova (SN) ...
