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

NEW YORK – Scientists for the first time have spotted the insides of a dying star as it exploded, offering a rare peek into stellar evolution. Stars can live for millions to trillions of years until ...

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 ...

Citizen scientists using the Kilonova Seekers platform spotted a stellar flash 2,500 times brighter than before, allowing astronomers to identify the exploding cataclysmic variable GOTO0650 within ...

Sparse halos of neutrinos within the hearts of exploding stars exert a previously unrecognized influence on the physics of the explosion and may alter which elements can be forged by these violent ...

Earth has faced multiple mass extinctions in its long history, with the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs being the most famous. But what if some of these catastrophic events were caused by ...

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 ...

When massive stars die, they sometimes go supernova—exploding in incredible bursts of energy. Scientists haven’t spotted one in our own galaxy since 1604, and that explosion happened about 20,000 ...

Dark matter, if it exists, is probably in the latter category. If hypothetical weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are real, their collisions with regular matter may have left fossil traces ...
