Originally predicted to go nova in 2024, buzz about binary star system T Coronae Borealis was rekindled by NASA in early May ...

New 3D-printable models of Chandra X-ray Observatory images will allow you to hold a star in your hands and touch a supernova ...

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of SN 2022aajn, a Type Ia supernova in the constellation Gemini. Located 600 million light-years away, the explosion was first ...

Supernova remnants (SNRs) are the remains of a supernova explosion, seen as diffuse, expanding structures. Observations show that SNRs harbor ejected material expanding from the supernova explosion.

A nova explosion is different from a supernova explosion. National Geographic explained that supernovas are "core collapses," leading to the complete destruction of a star. This can only occur in ...

This limit marks the mass at which a star can undergo a thermonuclear explosion, creating a Type Ia supernova.

It is assumed that MC SNR J0519–6902 is a result of a type Ia supernova explosion and the mass of the progenitor star is estimated to be between 1.2 and 4.0 solar masses.

This discovery, published in Nature Astronomy, reveals an exceptionally massive pair of white dwarfs. With an ultra-tight orbit, they are inexorably drawing closer, doomed to collide, which will ...

This is a movie of the explosion of a double white dwarf binary star system. The simulation was published in Nature Astronomy by James Munday and collaborations in LINK. Full credit goes to Dr.

Nearby stellar explosions may have influenced two major mass extinctions on Earth. A recent study explores this link between supernovae and species disappearances. Researchers from Keele University ...

The blast brightened rapidly and brilliantly, far more than one would expect for a regular star explosion, a supernova, before it disappeared. Given the label AT2018cow, the weird-looking blast ...
