For the very first time, astronomers have captured a radio signal emitted by a very specific type of stellar explosion. This unprecedented observation offers us a glimpse into the final moments of ...

Only one such event had been documented previously, a star recorded vanishing around 2010 in a galaxy 22 million light-years ...

An international team of astronomers has conducted photometric and spectroscopic observations of a recently discovered ...

A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and ...

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 ...

The team discovered the star by analyzing archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission. They used a prediction from the 1970s that theorized that when a star underwent direct collapse, it would leave ...

Several telescopes used to observe the supernova SN Zwicky which was magnified nearly 25 times by a foreground galaxy acting ...

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 ...

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...
