A vast cosmic explosion left behind an intricate masterpiece in the sky — delicate pink and orange filaments dancing in the wake of a dying star. Captured in breathtaking detail, this celestial ...

Scientists have uncovered the long-sought mechanism behind low-field magnetars, showing that supernova fallback material ...

For now the core driver of supernova explosions remains a mystery. Researchers suspect the answer involves neutrinos, nearly massless particles that tend to pass through matter unimpeded.

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." ...

"These two supernova remnants are helping us to better understand the dynamics of our home galaxy’s neighborhood," ...

A recent study suggests that supernova explosions, triggered by the death of early stars, could have created significant amounts of water just 100 million years after the Big Bang. Simulations of ...

One such explosion, observed using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), offers a unique glimpse into the earliest cosmic moments. This supernova, named AT 2023adsv, was detected as part of the JADES ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted one of the earliest and most distant supernovas, marking the death of a stellar monster 20 times the mass of the sun. Supernovas in the early universe ...
