That makes it the largest and arguably most successful supernova surveyor to date. "There are trillions of stars in the universe, and about every second, one of them explodes," California ...

Each star is a SN exploding with the size indicating how bright it appears and the colour indicating the colour of the supernova, they go from blue (hotter) to yellow (cooler) as they grow older and ...

This is not to be confused with a supernova, a star's "core collapse" that leads to its complete destruction. According to NASA, that can only happen to stars about eight times the mass of our sun.

A new study suggests that the explosive deaths of the universe's earliest stars created surprising quantities of water that ...

A unique dataset of Type Ia supernovae being released today could change how cosmologists measure the expansion history of ...

This pristine ejecta from the supernova displays a weblike structure ... left of the image show spots where material from the exploding star is smashing into gas and dust in the surrounding ...

The light output of exploding white dwarf stars, which are the stellar corpses ... This means they can't go supernova.

Astrophysicists have unearthed a surprising diversity in the ways in which white dwarf stars explode in deep space after assessing almost 4,000 such events captured in detail by a next-gen ...

A stunning new discovery reveals that white dwarf stars — once thought to explode in predictable ways — actually detonate through an astonishing variety of mechanisms. From star cannibalism to violent ...

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is set to revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos by detecting millions of exploding ...

Known as “gravitational memory”, such distortions are predicted to occur most prominently when the core of a supernova collapses. Observing them could therefore provide a window into the death of ...
