Astronomers studying the remnant SNR 0509-67.5 have finally caught a white dwarf in the act of a rare “double-detonation” supernova, where an initial helium blast on the star’s surface triggers a ...

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

For the first time, astronomers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end by detonating twice. By studying the centuries-old remains of supernova SNR 0509-67.5 with the European Southern ...

This is the first evidence for a white dwarf exploding not once, but twice. The discovery could shed new light on how some ...

The James Webb telescope has made another stunning discovery -- this time of a massive planet that could potentially sustain ...

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has been unwaveringly focused on our universe. With its unprecedented power to detect and ...

This image, taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), shows the supernova remnant SNR 0509-67.5. These are the expanding ...

White Dwarf Discovery Could Transform How Scientists Measure the Universe In A Nutshell Astronomers found direct evidence ...

An explosion captured in a new image could help astronomers to better understand the "standard candles" at the center of a ...

MUSE allows astronomers to map the distribution of different chemical elements, displayed here in different colours. Calcium is shown in blue, and it is arranged in two concentric shells. These two ...
