For the first time, astronomers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end by detonating twice. By studying the centuries-old remains of supernova SNR 0509-67.5 with the European Southern ...

"Thanks to the high resolution of our new images, we detected a faint structure on the northeast side of this supernova remnant that had not been observed before." When you purchase through links on ...

This image, taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), shows the supernova remnant SNR 0509-67.5. Astronomers studying the night sky from the Southern Hemisphere have uncovered a supernova — the ...

WASHINGTON, July 2 (Reuters) - The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times the mass of our sun that exhausts its ...

Using cutting-edge theoretical models and data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have transformed astronomical observations into detailed 3D models of cosmic objects — models that ...

NASA has released its longest-ever time-lapse from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, capturing the expanding remains of Kepler’s Supernova, one of the most powerful stellar explosions ever witnessed by ...

This artist’s impression shows a star going supernova. About 22 million light-years away the supernova, SN 2024ggi, exploded in the galaxy NGC 3621. Using the ESO’s Very Large Telescope, astronomers ...

For the first time, astronomers have spotted a star that exploded not once, but twice. A new image of a roughly 300-year-old supernova provides visual evidence that some dying stars undergo a double ...

For years, scientists have suspected that stars can meet their doom by a one-two punch of back-to-back explosions — but they’ve never seen visual evidence of this happening. That just changed.
