Scientists have captured the moment the shockwave of a supernova explosion breaks out through the surface of a doomed star ...

The explosive death of a star - a supernova - is among the most violent cosmic events, but precisely how this cataclysm looks ...

Astronomers have captured a first-of-its-kind image of a massive dying star.

Some of the earliest images ever taken in the wake of massive star’s death give astronomers important clues about what triggers a supernova.

V Sagittae’s violent mass transfer hints at an imminent nova—and a future supernova visible from Earth. Binary star systems are fairly common in the universe, as are pairs where one star is a compact ...

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 ...

This artist’s impression shows a star going supernova. About 22 million light-years away the supernova, SN 2024ggi, exploded ...

It came from nothing less than a supermassive black hole located at the center of a distant galaxy. Although the event ...

The black hole was bigger than expected, and while the answer was hiding in plain sight, it still rewrites what we thought ...
