New X-ray data from NASA’s Chandra telescope reveals Cassiopeia A’s chaotic final hours, showing how dying stars collapse and explode.

Global cooling associated with the impact of supernova remnants may have affected plants and animals, including species ...

Did exploding stars help shape human evolution? A bold hypothesis suggests supernovae cooled Earth’s climate and nudged our ...

Scientists using the Chandra X-ray telescope have uncovered new details about the famous supernova remnant Cassiopeia A.

The inside of a star turned on itself before it spectacularly exploded, according to a new study from NASA’s Chandra X-ray ...

A rare kind of white dwarf can escape the galaxy at 1,200 miles per second. New 3D simulations explain the violent supernova chain behind it.

Researchers, including a Rutgers astronomer, reveal new insights into a star's death in its final momentsA team of scientists, including Rutgers-New ...

The signal, a gamma ray burst, kept repeating — which has never been seen before, and, according to astronomers, should be ...

A white dwarf star around 160,000 light years away appears to have exploded twice – the first evidence astronomers have seen that such supernovae involve a double detonation. White dwarf stars are ...

The protocol used to find these young supernova explosions could be used on data from the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

My hypothesis is that remnants of a supernova—an exploding star —had an impact on Earth's past climate, causing global cooling, between 3 million and 2.6 million years ago and that this indirectly ...
