Is a star about to explode in the night sky? If predictions come true, T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) could become visible for a ...

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and these signals offer new insights into how massive stars meet their demise.

An international team analyzed data from NASA's Fermi space telescope and detected gamma rays from a rare and exceptionally ...

A University of Virginia doctoral student and a team of astronomers have, for the first time, captured radio waves from a rare class of exploding star, giving them an unprecedented look into the final ...

A new method could improve cosmology research by analyzing supernovae together with the galaxies that host them.

Artist’s conception of a magnetar surrounded by an accretion disk that is wobbling, or precessing, because of the effects of general relativity. Some models of magnetars suggest that high-speed jets ...

Maybe music artist Moby was right, and “we are all made of stars.” New research suggests the calcium in our teeth and bones came from star explosions. Researchers from Northwestern University looked ...

A massive star in the Andromeda Galaxy, one of the most luminous objects in its neighborhood, has quietly disappeared. Over the span of roughly eight years, the star dimmed by more than 10,000 times ...

A supernova is one of the most powerful events that can happen in the Universe - we are talking, after all, about a star exploding – and because of that, they have always been actively researched by ...
