An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new supernova remnant (SNR) using radio observations. The ...

Spread the loveIntroduction In a remarkable discovery that could reshape our understanding of cosmic phenomena, astronomers led by Mansi Kasliwal from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) ...

Astronomers report that WOH G64, one of the largest known stars, appears to have undergone a striking transformation into a ...

When the first gravitational wave (GW) was detected back in 2015, scientists said they had opened a new window into the Universe. While most of astronomy is based on detecting electromagnetic energy, ...

A breakthrough experiment has shed new light on one of astrophysics’ biggest mysteries: the origin of rare proton-rich elements. For the first time, scientists directly measured a key reaction that ...

According to scientists, red supergiant stars should produce more supernovas. But astronomers just aren’t spotting them. Here ...

A new analysis from NASA using the Hubble Space Telescope shows that the Crab Nebula, the remnant of a supernova recorded in 1054, is still rapidly expanding, offering rare, direct evidence that the ...

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.

Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar—a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star—and confirmed that it's the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the ...

Artist’s conception of a magnetar surrounded by an accretion disk that is wobbling, or precessing, because of the effects of general relativity. Some models of magnetars suggest that high-speed jets ...
