For the first time, astronomers have spotted a star that exploded not once, but twice. A new image of a roughly 300-year-old supernova provides visual evidence that some dying stars undergo a double ...

New observations show a star that blew up in two separate bursts, confirming a long-suspected cosmic phenomenon called a ...

Stars often die with a final burst of beauty. For the first time, astronomers have captured visual proof that a star can ...

High-mass stars play an important role in the evolution of the universe through the release of heavy elements and the shock waves produced when a massive star explodes in a supernova. Despite ...

Star Sheds Unexpected Amounts of Mass Just Before Going Supernova SN 2023ixf is a new Type II supernova discovered in May 2023 by amateur astronomer Kōichi Itagaki of Yamagata, Japan shortly ...

A new study of a star undergoing the throes of a supernova death has revealed that bursts of X-radiation known as fast-X-ray ...

If astronomers could catch bursts of gamma rays from supernova explosions that create neutron stars near the Milky Way, the mystery of dark matter could be wrapped up in 10 seconds.

High-Mass stars play an important role in the evolution of the Universe through the release of heavy elements and the shock waves produced when a massive star explodes in a supernova.

In other cases, another member of the system will go on to form a second white dwarf. If gravitational instabilities bring ...

Seemingly, this took several days for the supernova in question. Massive stars often shed mass — just look at Betelgeuse's shenanigans over late 2019 and early 2020, when it belched out a cloud ...
