Pictures of a distant supernova remnant show two concentric rings, providing clear evidence that exploding white dwarf stars ...

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

Astronomers have, for the first time, witnessed a star meeting a dramatic end by exploding twice. In a study published in ...

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 ...

For the first time, astronomers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end by detonating twice. By studying 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 ...

"This tangible evidence of a double detonation not only contributes towards solving a long-standing mystery, but also offers ...

Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...

Astronomers have finally caught a dying star in space going out with a bang — and then another bang. The new photographic ...

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 ...

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