It took about 50 exploding stars to upend cosmology. Researchers mapped and measured light from Type Ia supernovae, the ...

Supernova has the opportunity to give Monsterverse fans a real big-screen introduction to perhaps the most terrifying original Titan.

The two objects make for a strange pair. Unlike Betelgeuse, which is approaching the end of its life, the blue-white ...

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 ...

Pictures of a distant supernova remnant show two concentric rings, providing clear evidence that exploding white dwarf stars ...

A newly discovered supernova can be watched as it develops in real-time online and for free. The event will kick off at 6:00 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT) on Thursday, May 25.

An unusual star system created more of a fizz and less of a bang when it exploded in a supernova. The “ultra-stripped” supernova led researchers to discover the two stars 11,000 light-years ...

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

The supernova, named SN 2023ixf, is located 21 million light-years away. It should remain visible with the aid of a telescope for at least a few months, astronomers said.

The stunning Supernova 1987A is roughly 168,000 light-years away from Earth and located in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

And the supernova doesn't have to be so close to us for its cosmic rays to be deadly—within 30 to 50 light years to trigger a mass extinction, depending on the local interstellar medium and the ...
