If aliens are synchronizing their signals with light coming from supernova 1987A, then the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is on the case. Scientists with the institution say they may ...

Supernova 1987A, the nearest observed supernova in modern history, continues to offer profound insights into the life‐cycle of massive stars. Its distinctive features, including a prominent equatorial ...

Recent observations with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have revealed new details about the fiery ring surrounding the stellar explosion that produced Supernova 1987A. The data give insight into the ...

Within the dusty cloud left behind by supernova 1987A, the most famous stellar explosion in modern history, astronomers have found compelling evidence for a long-sought neutron star. NASA’s James Webb ...

With the help of the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have figured out a mystery at the heart of a supernova that’s been decades in the making. As Space.com reports, Supernova 1987A, so named ...

A University of Michigan study published March 13 found evidence that Crow instability— a line-vortex instability that occurs when the wingtip of an aircraft interacts with condensed water, called ...

In 1987, astronomers recorded the only supernova visible to the naked eye in the last 400 years. Astronomers have since wondered about what the massive explosion left behind in its wake. Using JWST, ...

In 1987, astronomers had an incredible front-row seat to a cosmic event that maybe isn’t rare, but rarely happens near us. Just 168,000 light-years away, on February 23 of that year, a star in the ...

Physicists often turn to the Rayleigh-Taylor instability to explain why fluid structures form in plasmas, but that may not be the full story when it comes to the ring of hydrogen clumps around ...
