Scientists have wondered for a long time just what causes a supernova. A new observation shows a massive star exploding, leading to the birth of a supernova. Scientists now believe they can study the ...

A star located 60 million light years away went supernova last year, and astronomers managed to capture all stages of the stellar explosion using telescopes both on the ground and in space. The doomed ...

Two Princeton researchers, Alicia Soderberg and Edo Berger, have become the first humans in recorded history to witness the explosion of a supernova in real time. Soderberg, who is a postdoctoral ...

I know what developer Primal and publisher Namco-Bandai are saying their new game Supernova is — a MOBA in the vein of League of Legends and, to a lesser degree, Dota 2, but with an real-time strategy ...

For the first time a star has been observed in real-time as it goes supernova -- a mind bogglingly powerful explosion as the star ends its life, the resulting cosmic eruption briefly outshining an ...

Twenty-one million years ago in the Pinwheel Galaxy — an elegant, spiral-armed neighbor of our own Milky Way — an old, dim star had a very bad day. It exploded and began to blaze like a billion suns.

Astronomers say they have witnessed a stellar explosion - or supernova - unfolding in real time. Supernovae occur when huge, mature stars effectively run out of fuel and collapse in on themselves. The ...

The majority of antimatter that pervades the Milky Way may come from clashing remnants of dead stars, a new study finds. The work may solve a 40-year-old astrophysics mystery, the study's researchers ...

Artificial intelligence is classifying real supernova explosions without the traditional use of spectra, thanks to a team of astronomers at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian. The ...
