A research team linked nearby stellar explosions to at least one, possibly two, mass die-offs after calculating the supernova ...

Plutonium discovered at the bottom of the ocean was found to be refuse from a kilonova that exploded close to Earth 10 ...

A supernova is a dramatic event in which a star violently explodes towards the end of its life cycle. In a striking image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, the supernova explosion of a star ...

We know that regular supernovas pose no existential threat to life on Earth in the near-term. But there are other varieties ...

The findings reveal unusual chemical signatures and offer new insights into the behavior of novas beyond the Milky Way.

"I was astonished by the unexpected results because they opened a new view on the first phases of galaxy evolution." ...

What's the deadliest part of a supernova explosion? To estimate this we have to look at what the actual destructive ...

Scientists from Keele University have found strong evidence that some of Earth’s past mass extinctions could have been caused by nearby supernova explosions—massive star explosions in the Milky Way.

Specifically, the findings support the hypothesis that supernovae could have triggered two of the so-called "big five" mass ...

New research suggests that powerful star explosions, called supernovae, may have caused at least two mass extinctions in ...

Some of the most massive and influential stars in the universe are OB stars. These blue giants, many times more massive than ...
