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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have revealed for the first time a jaw-dropping early view of an exploding supernova. Observations with the ...

New supernova reveals asymmetric, olive-shaped blast Earliest explosion moments captured with spectropolarimetry ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, captured the moment a massive star exploded, observing the blast just as it burst ...

Scientists have observed the early stages of a star's violent death – a supernova – for the first time. The shape of these ...

Teams of international scientists have used observations from NASA's Swift satellite and other telescopes to witness the evolution of a cosmic blast into a stellar explosion or supernova. The blast is ...

Trinity researchers have helped find the incredibly rare cosmic event of a white-dwarf star exploding as its life comes to an end. A particularly rare interstellar event has just been seen for only ...

BRITISH FESTIVAL OF SCIENCE:THIS SUMMER we waited for final word that the Higgs particle exists. Now scientists have come up with yet another particle that may help solve one of the greatest mysteries ...
