The signals provide astronomers with a look into the life, and death, of a massive star exploding into a supernova.

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

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 ...

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.

In our galaxy, a supernova explodes about once or twice each century. But historical astronomical records show that the last ...

Scientists have for the first time peered inside a dying star as it exploded in a supernova, gaining not just unprecedented views of its layers, but more so, insight into the process of stellar ...

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 ...

SN2021yfj is a new kind of supernova, challenging our understanding of stellar evolution. Its progenitor lost its outer shells well before the supernova happened and only consisted of its ...

A rare supernova let scientists glimpse a star's interior, revealing a dense silicon-sulphur shell and unexpected helium that should have vanished earlier. (Nanowerk News) An exploding star has given ...
