When scientists look to the skies for clues about life's origins, water is one of the first things they seek. Life, as it's ...

Specifically, the findings support the hypothesis that supernovae could have triggered two of the so-called "big five" mass ...

One such discovery was the identification of the most distant so-called core-collapse supernova ever confirmed ... at a gargantuan 20 solar masses, a real behemoth. AT2023 ADS-V's long-ago ...

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the 'devastating' effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers say these super-powerful blasts ...

The first type of supernova is a core-collapse supernova. These occur in stars at least eight to 10 times more massive the Sun. As stars age, they deplete the hydrogen in their core. They then ...

Supernovae occur when massive stars reach the end of their lives, run out of fuel, cool off, and then collapse under the pressure of gravity. The explosions are the biggest humans have ever seen.
