Astronomers have solved the mystery of a star that has baffled scientists for over a century, finding it is a cannibal white ...

Astronomers have used a new type of extreme supernova in which a massive star was stripped right "down to the bone" to better ...

Astronomers have been monitoring V Sagittae for over a century, a binary system whose evolution challenges classical models.

Astronomers have witnessed a rare “extremely stripped supernova” that exposed the inner silicon layers of a dying star, confirming theories of stellar fusion and offering new insight into how ...

The protocol used to find these young supernova explosions could be used on data from the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

Scientists using the Chandra X-ray telescope have uncovered new details about the famous supernova remnant Cassiopeia A.

A distant supernova exposed elements from a star’s core. The result reshapes ideas of how massive stars evolve. According to long-standing theory, stars are built in layers like onions, with each ...

Researchers observed a supernova in progress that showed the onion-like structure of elements in stars, and the explosion may belong to a class of its own ...
