Using the Hubble Space Telescope and an array of other instruments, astronomers have probed supernova wreckage in the Large ...

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and Parkes 64-m telescope, an international team of astronomers has ...

This triggers a "core-collapse" supernova that blows away these outer layers and most of the mass of the dying star. The ...

This rare stellar remnant is known as a magnetar. It's a type of neutron star, which is formed when a large star dies and ...

From the shining moon visible every night in the sky to the distant black holes placed at every galaxy's centre, the Universe is filled with mysterious secrets waiting to be revealed in front of ...

This discrepancy, involving measurements of type Ia supernova explosions, challenges the universe's expansion rate as predicted by the Hubble–Lemaîtr... A zombie star remnant, Pa 30 ...

X-ray telescopes such as Chandra are important to the study of supernova remnants and the elements they produce because these events generate extremely high temperatures—millions of degrees ...

SGR 0501+4516 was likely associated with a supernova remnant called HB9—or so the astronomers thought. Multiple SGR 0501+4516 observations between 2010 and 2020 provided scientists with more ...

This "supernova archaeology" uncovered important clues about a star that self-destructed—probably more than a million years ago. Today, the system called GRO J1655-40 contains a black hole with ...

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 years ...
