As astronomer Carl Sagan once said, we are "made of star stuff," as this research suggests, we may also be at the mercy of it ...

New research suggests the violent explosions of dying stars may have caused two of Earth’s biggest mass extinctions millions ...

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

Deaths of nearby massive stars may have played a significant role in triggering at least two mass extinction events in ...

Suppose humanity was faced with an extinction-level event. Not just high odds, but certain-sure. A nearby supernova will ...

T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), also known as the Blaze Star, is a binary star system located 3,000 light-years from Earth. It ...

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

The nearby T Coronae Borealis system could still explode any day now, but calculations suggest the next best chance for ...

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

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the 'devastating' effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers say these super-powerful blasts ...

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.
