A pair of white dwarfs, located just 150 light-years from Earth, appears doomed to die in a type 1a supernova that will shine ...

The event will be ten times brighter than our Moon in the night sky, but never fear, it won't happen for another 23 billion ...

"When I first spotted this system with a very high total mass on our galactic doorstep, I was immediately excited." ...

Thankfully, there are no such systems within 150 light-years of Earth. But there's this whole other kind of supernova, the Type 1a. These have a completely different mechanism for going boom.

“But if a planet — including the Earth — is located too close to this kind of event, this can have devastating effects.” In the study, the researchers provided no evidence that a supernova ...

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 at Keele University say ...
