The rare supernova, named SN 2024PI, stands out in the photo as a pale blue dot shining clearly amid thick bands of gas, located just a little down and to the right of the galaxy's milky core.

In 1987, astronomers observed an incredible star explosion in a galaxy not too far away in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Now, researchers suggest that the supernova was created by a blue compact ...

Like the subject of a previous Picture of the Week, LEDA 22057 is the site of a supernova explosion. Phys.org. ... the pale blue dot of SN 2024PI stands out against the galaxy's ghostly spiral arms.

Meteorites can act as time capsules, preserving molecules from the solar system’s infancy.Certain fingerprints have been detected in these ancient space rocks that suggest a supernova went off ...

Thanks to a global network of 18 robotic telescopes, researchers caught a brief blue glow in the sky which, they say, was the result of a different kind of supernova explosion. The find reveals ...

Blue hue. Just like ordinary supernovae, the light or luminosity of a first-generation supernova should also show the characteristic rise to a peak in brightness, followed by a steady decline – which ...

Blue moons usually occur every 2.7 years on average, but both kinds will happen in 2037. The first one comes on January 2, 2037, when two Full Moons occur in the same calendar month (the popular ...

Supernovae are one SLR source, which might mean our Solar System dodged a supernova, although there are other ways they can form. SLRs from the interstellar medium might already be floating around ...

If Betelgeuse does go supernova, what would it look like? The star is around 500 light years away. Following an explosion, we first would detect a rain of massless particles called neutrinos ...
