Astronomers have finally caught a dying star in space going out with a bang — and then another bang. The new photographic ...

For the first time, astronomers have spotted a star that exploded not once, but twice. A new image of a roughly 300-year-old supernova provides visual evidence that some dying stars undergo a double ...

MUSE allows astronomers to map the distribution of different chemical elements, displayed here in different colours. Calcium ...

"This tangible evidence of a double detonation not only contributes towards solving a long-standing mystery, but also offers ...

A dramatic double supernova explosion has been captured for the first time by a team of scientists, including a ­Trinity ...

Astronomers have finally found evidence for a proposed mechanism for a special kind of supernova, known as a Type Ia supernova. It was proposed that at least some of them experience a double ...

In other cases, another member of the system will go on to form a second white dwarf. If gravitational instabilities bring ...

Let’s start with the basics: A Supernova is when a star explodes. it’s bright, dramatic, and sends stuff flying across the ...

For the first time, astronomers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end by detonating twice. By studying the centuries-old remains of supernova SNR 0509-67.5 with the European Southern ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, witnessed a star meeting a dramatic end by exploding twice. In a study published in ...

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

(CN) — While all stars go out in a bang, some go out with two. For the first time, astronomers have recorded visual evidence of a star entering a supernova state and undergoing a double detonation.
