A pair of circling white dwarf stars located on our "cosmic doorstep" are doomed to explode in a rare, quadruple supernova ...

At the bottom of the ocean, evidence of what researchers are calling a “supernova graveyard” has been discovered. But what ...

People often think about archaeology happening deep in jungles or inside ancient pyramids. However, a team of astronomers has ...

A flock of birds hundreds strong wheeling in perfect synchrony overhead is one of nature's great sights. If a single bird fell out of line, utter confusion could ensue, yet none does. Harmony ...

But there are other varieties of supernova that are a little bit harder to predict, and a little bit harder to spot. For example, there are special cases of supernovas where the dying star is ...

Fields has theorized about this cosmic rubble since the 1990s. But it wasn't until 2004 that researchers started sifting out supernova remnants from ocean samples. They found traces of a ...

Caption: New research suggests at least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were caused by a nearby supernova. Pictured is an example of one of these stellar explosions, Supernova 1987a ...

Scientists have identified supernova debris in deep-sea sediments, including a rare plutonium isotope linked to a kilonova. Researchers believe a neutron star collision occurred nearly 10 million ...

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 ...
