The supernova is visible in the image: Located just down and to the right of the galactic nucleus, the pale blue dot of SN 2024PI stands out against the galaxy's ghostly spiral arms. This image ...

The closest match they found was a supernova stemming from a blue supergiant formed by the merger of a red supergiant star and a main-sequence star.

Meteorites can act as time capsules, preserving molecules from the solar system’s infancy. Certain fingerprints have been detected in these ancient space rocks that suggest a supernova went off ...

The Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a snapshot of a rare supernova that sits in the Gemini constellation, about 650 million light-years away from Earth.

Thanks to a global network of 18 robotic telescopes, researchers caught a brief blue glow in the sky which, they say, was the result of a different kind of supernova explosion. The find reveals ...

Astronomers have just made a bold prediction—that an exploding star dubbed “Supernova Requiem” will again appear in the year 2037.

A team led by Gastón Folatelli at the Kavli IPMU, the University of Tokyo, has found evidence of a hot binary companion star to a yellow supergiant star, which had become a bright supernova. The ...

The team concluded the color blue could be used as an indicator of a low-metallicity progenitor. The expanding universe makes it difficult to detect first star and supernova radiation, which shift ...

Its overwhelming blue light would blare from the night sky, like a giant insomnia-inducing laptop screen. Melott also said a supernova could trigger sleep disruption throughout the animal kingdom.

Two new images from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory provide fascinating views of the complex aftermath of a supernova.
