Global cooling associated with the impact of supernova remnants may have affected plants and animals, including species ...

Scientists have gotten a rare peek into a dying star, exposing its interior as it exploded. The most massive stars go out with a bang in explosions called supernovas.

This material, says a team led by astrophysicist Steve Schulze of Northwestern University in the US, constitutes the first direct evidence of the theorized concentric shells of different elements that ...

A supernova blast 2.2 billion light-years from Earth has given astronomers a deeper view into a star's centre than ever before.

Scientists think a gigantic dying star tried to swallow a black hole. It didn't end well for the star, a new study says.

The supernova explosion, designated as SN 2018gv, is found in the spiral galaxy NGC 2525. According to NASA, Hubble began ...

Did exploding stars help shape human evolution? A bold hypothesis suggests supernovae cooled Earth’s climate and nudged our ...

Astronomers working with the Keck Observatory in Hawaii have obtained spectroscopic data from a supernova discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility in 2021. The exploding star is 2.2 billion light ...

The collapsing star's outermost layers of hydrogen and helium had peeled away long ago, which wasn't surprising. But the star ...

A rare kind of white dwarf can escape the galaxy at 1,200 miles per second. New 3D simulations explain the violent supernova chain behind it.

Astronomers have observed the calamitous result of a star that picked the wrong dance partner. They have documented what ...
