Supernova remnants, stellar nurseries and more populate the new edge-on view of the Milky Way as seen from Earth’s southern hemisphere.
Astronomers observe Type II supernova SN 2024bch behaving differently, with energy from Bowen fluorescence rather than ejecta interaction, challenging models of stellar death and high-energy neutrino ...
If a massive star near Earth exploded into a supernova, the result wouldn’t just be beautiful — it would be catastrophic.
A bright new supernova has been discovered in NGC 6946, a spiral galaxy some 22 million light years from Earth that is better known as the Fireworks Galaxy. Though the supernova was discovered Sunday ...

The rare blast peeled back the inner layers of a dying star, offering clues to how the elements that make up life on Earth were forged. By Jonathan O’Callaghan Carl Sagan once said we are all made of ...
Astronomers observed the fading light of supernova SN 2025kg, which followed the fast X-ray transient (FXT) named EP 250108a.
Some 2.5 million years ago, viruses in Lake Tanganyika experienced an unexplained explosion in diversity. A new study analyzing iron-60 found in the lakebed suggests that the explosion of a ‘nearby’ ...
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 at Keele University say these ...
