Researchers have used machine learning to dramatically speed up the processing time when simulating galaxy evolution coupled with supernova explosion. This approach could help us understand the ...

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 ...

The shattered star at the center was once a white dwarf, a stellar ember no larger than Earth, yet almost as heavy as the Sun ...

According to a fairly new theory, white dwarfs can explode twice in a row in certain circumstances. For the first time, we ...

Astronomers have captured the first-ever visual evidence of awhite dwarf star exploding twice in a remarkable supernova event ...

The "new stars" are best seen from the Southern Hemisphere, but people have spotted them from the United States by looking ...

Less than two weeks later, on June 25, reports began to circulate of a second nova blossoming in the southern night sky, this time in the constellation Vela. This nova — later designated V572 Velorum ...

Astronomers had long been suspecting that some stars do meet their end of life with a dual detonation and new images prove ...

In a groundbreaking cosmic revelation, astronomers have captured the first visual evidence of a dying star erupting in a rare ...

Astronomers have captured a jaw-dropping picture of star that exploded twice. It is the first time researchers have obtained ...

But a rarer kind of supernova involves a different type of star - a stellar ember called a white dwarf - and a double ...

A breathtaking image of a supernova remnant 160,000 light-years from Earth has offered the first direct evidence that white ...
