When most people think of a supernova, they're thinking of a Type II core-collapse supernova. These are massive stars that have reached the end of their time on the main sequence. They've used up ...

A deep-space photo of the Jellyfish Nebula in Gemini shows a brain-like structure, capturing the supernova remnant IC 443 and surrounding interstellar gas and stars.

For the first time, we have a front-row seat to one of the most violent events in the universe: a supernova. But there’s a ...

Astronomers have turned a famous star explosion into a 25‑year time‑lapse, using a NASA telescope to watch the superheated gas race through space and slam into its surroundings. The new study using ...

New studies reveal how metallicity and stellar evolution determine whether massive stars expand into red supergiants prior to Type II supernova explosions.

It was only last October that telescopes spotted a gamma ray burst—caused by the collapse of a black hole —that was so powerful astronomers quickly dubbed it BOAT, for “Brightest of all Time.” That ...

An international team of astronomers has carried out photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2024abvb—a recently ...

A rare gravitationally lensed supernova called SN 2025wny appears in five separate images due to the gravity of two ...

It's never too late to solve a cold case. A new paper from Syracuse University researchers proposes an explanation for both a mysterious stellar object discovered in the year 2013 and an astronomical ...
