Researchers link two ancient mass extinctions to nearby supernova explosions, which may have damaged Earth's atmosphere and ...

Just 150 light-years from Earth, a team of astronomers has identified an exceptional binary system. These two stars, ...

If it exploded today, this future supernova might be close enough to us to pose a threat, but the Sun will have burned out ...

This sample is so unique in terms of size and homogeneity that we expect it to significantly impact the field of supernova ...

Fields has theorized about this cosmic rubble since the 1990s. But it wasn't until 2004 that researchers started sifting out supernova remnants from ocean samples. They found traces of a ...

But there are other varieties of supernova that are a little bit harder to predict, and a little bit harder to spot. For example, there are special cases of supernovas where the dying star is ...

The most dangerous parts of a supernova explosion are the outputs like X-rays and gamma rays. Even though they only share a small fraction of a supernova's power, they are extremely dangerous.

During the final stages in the life of a gargantuan star, its death throes culminate in a powerful thermonuclear blast — a supernova — that typically destroys the celestial object, unleashing ...
