The only known supernova remnant of its kind in the Milky Way has an unexpectedly intricate structure: chains of gas knots ...

Pa 30’s apparent streaks are chains of enormous gas knots, while its surviving star shows little sideways recoil from the ...

A fleet of telescopes around the world just captured the first shocking moments of a supernova explosion in the most detailed-ever observations of their kind. The explosive event was first spotted by ...

UC Berkeley supernova and black hole expert Alex Filippenko will share the 2026 Gruber Cosmology Prize, which was announced today (May 19) by the Gruber Foundation. The prize, one of the most ...

A massive star does not always go out in a brilliant supernova. Some instead collapse into black holes, potentially with little or no visible explosion. What determines which path a dying star takes ...

The new observations reveal that its famous "firework" filaments are not smooth streaks, but chains of tiny knots. The analysis of the images, led by Timothy Cunningham at the University of Warwick ...

Evidence for hypernovae, theorized to be the most powerful explosions in the universe, has been disputed in two papers by ...

When a star reaches its final stages of life, it ends in a bright and powerful explosion called a supernova and scatters material across the universe. A new study led by a University of Hawaiʻi at ...

This artist’s animation shows a star going supernova. About 22 million light-years away the supernova, SN 2024ggi, exploded in the galaxy NGC 3621. Using the ESO’s Very Large Telescope, astronomers ...
