Several telescopes used to observe the supernova SN Zwicky which was magnified nearly 25 times by a foreground galaxy acting ...

This revelation means scientists might have to rethink Type II supernova models, which would result in some of these cosmic ...

In November 1572, a brilliant new star appeared in the constellation Cassiopeia, shining so brightly that it was visible during the day. Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe carefully documented this ...

Astronomers observe Type II supernova SN 2024bch behaving differently, with energy from Bowen fluorescence rather than ejecta interaction, challenging models of stellar death and high-energy neutrino ...

An ominous-looking nebula named NGC 246 lurks in the constellation Cetus about 1,600 light-years away from Earth. It is ...

Astronomers observed the fading light of supernova SN 2025kg, which followed the fast X-ray transient (FXT) named EP 250108a.

V Sagittae’s violent mass transfer hints at an imminent nova—and a future supernova visible from Earth. Binary star systems are fairly common in the universe, as are pairs where one star is a compact ...

So much happened in the earliest moments of the universe. Elementary particles appeared, the first nuclei of hydrogen and ...

A recent study of supernova SN 2024bch challenges traditional understanding of stellar deaths and supernovas, suggesting a different energy mechanism called Bowen fluorescence.

Data show that unidentified lights in archival astronomy images were 68% more likely to be imaged 24 hours after a nuclear ...
