The result is a rare before-and-after look at a dying star. The supernova, called SN 2025pht, came from a red supergiant, one ...

Astronomers have observed the calamitous result of a star that picked the wrong dance partner. They have documented what appears to be a new type of supernova, as stellar explosions are known, that ...

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 ...

Considering the immense size of the universe, it's no surprise that space still holds plenty of secrets for us. Recently, ...

Astronomers have observed what they are calling a new type of supernova, which has provided an unparalleled glimpse into what happens deep within a star just before it explodes. A study detailing the ...

Astronomers have been able to establish a direct link between supernovae and the formation of black holes and neutron stars, in one of the most intriguing cosmic events ever documented. This discovery ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The insides of a star are on full display thanks to an explosion. New research published this month in Nature is revealing the details of a star’s core. “This is the first time we have ...

What can an exploding star in a distant galaxy teach scientists about red supergiants? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal L | Space ...

Massive stars, those with initial masses exceeding eight times that of the Sun, undergo complex evolutionary processes that ultimately culminate in spectacular supernova explosions. During their ...

Interesting! I didn't realise fusion of Helium could happen at the surface of a star, due to lack of necessary temperature and pressure. I'd been reading about reactions that produce most heavier ...
