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

The V Sge system features a massive star being intensely cannibalized by a dense stellar remnant, likely a white dwarf or a ...

T CrB is a binary star system known for its predictable, though slightly irregular, eruptions, with historical records dating ...

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 ...

The nova outburst happens once every roughly 80 years, making this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many.

When the two stars eventually smash into each other, the supernova explosion would be visible from Earth, even during daytime.

The first double-burst supernova ever observed, SNR 0509, is a historic discovery that reveals how white dwarfs explode in ...

Stars often fall into black holes, and now it seems the opposite can also occur, producing an extra long-lasting explosion as the star is consumed from within ...

What can an exploding star in a distant galaxy teach scientists about red supergiants? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as a team of ...
