Astronomers detected radio waves from a rare exploding star, revealing what happens in the final years before a massive star dies.

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and these signals offer new insights into how massive stars meet their demise.

Artist's impression of a supernova. By ESO/M. Kornmesser/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY My hypothesis is that remnants of a supernova – an exploding star – had an impact on the Earth’s past climate, causing ...

NEW YORK – Scientists for the first time have spotted the insides of a dying star as it exploded, offering a rare peek into stellar evolution. Stars can live for millions to trillions of years until ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has picked up the light from a massive star that exploded about a billion years after the ...

What can imaging supernovae (plural for supernova) explosions teach astronomers about their behavior and physical characteristics? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to ...

NASA and The Hubble Space Telescope has noticed the disappearance of the massive star N6946‑BH1 after it flared to a million ...

Dark matter, if it exists, is probably in the latter category. If hypothetical weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are real, their collisions with regular matter may have left fossil traces ...

Nearly 4.5 million years ago, two enormous, blazing stars swung close to the solar system. They did not touch the sun, but they came close enough to leave a permanent mark on the thin mist of gas that ...
