Scientists have observed for first time the very early stages of a supernova — death of a star — with a massive star ...

The supernova was the death of a red supergiant star 500 times larger than the sun, in a galaxy just 22 million light-years away. Scientists have captured the moment the shockwave of a supernova ...

Observations with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope showed the explosive death of a star just as the ...

When this shock reaches the surface, it releases an enormous burst of energy. The star brightens dramatically, becoming visible as a supernova. For a short period, astronomers can study the initial ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, recorded the moment a star’s explosion broke through its surface. The nearby supernova, ...

On April 10, 2024, astronomers began the fast-paced mission to capture supernova SN 2024ggi. Study coauthor Yi Yang of Tsinghua University in China initially learned about its sighting shortly after ...

Scientists now have observed for the first time the very early stages of a supernova, with a massive star exploding in a ...

The observations are the earliest yet of a supernova, revealing in detail the moment that the shockwave obliterated the star.

A research team in Japan has created a groundbreaking Milky Way simulation that follows more than 100 billion stars with a level of detail that was once thought impossible.

Nowadays, scientists armed with sophisticated telescopes witness many supernovas every year, but they have all been distant ...

A rare supernova let scientists glimpse a star's interior, revealing a dense silicon-sulphur shell and unexpected helium that should have vanished earlier. (Nanowerk News) An exploding star has given ...
