TL;DR: Northwestern University astrophysicists have made a discovery that challenges current models of stellar evolution. Leading an international team, the researchers detected a previously unseen ...

Scientists have identified a never-before-seen supernova, SN2021yfj, which exploded after losing nearly all of its outer layers. Instead of light elements, it revealed silicon and sulfur from deep ...

Astronomers have observed what they are calling a new type of supernova, which has provided an unparalleled glimpse into what happens deep within a star just before it explodes. A study detailing the ...

A new discovery about what happens when a supernova – an exploding star – and a black hole collide could change the way scientists understand the lives and deaths of stars. The finding was the first ...

This image, taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), shows the supernova remnant SNR 0509-67.5. Astronomers studying the night sky from the Southern Hemisphere have uncovered a supernova — the ...

Scientists have observed for the first time the very early stages of a supernova — the death of a star — with a massive star exploding in a distinctive olive-like shape. They used the European ...

Artist’s conception of a magnetar surrounded by an accretion disk that is wobbling, or precessing, because of the effects of general relativity. Some models of magnetars suggest that high-speed jets ...

Scientists have revealed for the first time a jaw-dropping early view of an exploding supernova. Observations with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) have revealed ...
