A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...

A team of astronomers recently had to act fast to obtain a never-before-seen image of a dying star. The supernova explosion SN 2024ggi was first detected on April 10, 2024. The scientist leading the ...

DS1, collapsed into a black hole without exploding, revealing how stars die in silent “failed supernova” events.

Earlier this year, a powerful gamma-ray burst traveled through space from a very distant source in the cosmos. The explosion was traced back to the early universe, just millions of years after the Big ...

Astronomers are reporting a highly complex and potentially groundbreaking cosmic event that may be the first-ever observed "superkilonova," an ultra-powerful explosion produced by two closely timed ...

This supernova is one for the record books. A mammoth star explosion known as SN2016aps, which occurred in a galaxy about 3.6 billion light-years from Earth, is the brightest supernova ever seen, a ...

Astronomers have strengthened long-standing predictions that massive runaway stars could have originated in binary pairs, and ...

In 1181 AD, a bright "guest star" was observed to linger in the sky for around six months. Nearly 850 years later, the likely remnants of this event were rediscovered and tentatively linked to the ...

A distant stellar explosion has offered astronomers a rare natural experiment, one that turns gravity into a powerful optical tool. The object, known as SN 2025wny, appears not once but four times in ...
