We know that regular supernovas pose no existential threat to life on Earth in the near-term. But there are other varieties ...

A picturesque galaxy 40 million light-years away, NGC 5530 dazzles with its patchy spiral arms in the constellation Lupus.

Exploding stars in near-solar space may have triggered at least two mass extinction events in Earth’s history. A new study ...

Specifically, the findings support the hypothesis that supernovae could have triggered two of the so-called "big five" mass ...

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the "devastating" effects of nearby supernova ...

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 blasts ...

The most dangerous parts of a supernova explosion are the outputs like X-rays and gamma rays. Even though they only share a ...

"If a massive star were to explode as a supernova close to the Earth, the results would be devastating for life on Earth," said Nick Wright, an astrophysicist at Keele University in the United ...
