Astronomers have discovered that the birth of neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's magnetosphere is the "magic trick" behind superbright supernovas.

Superluminous supernovas are the brightest stellar explosions in the universe. Astronomers may have found a mechanism that ...

What happened: Astronomers used the CHARA Array to capture the first detailed images of two novae within days to weeks of their eruptions in 2021. What they found: Nova V1674 Her showed two ...

An international team of astronomers has achieved a first in probing the early universe, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), detecting a supernova—the explosive death of a massive star—at an ...

Japan’s Super-Kamiokande detector, a massive underground neutrino observatory, has completed its most sensitive search yet ...

Earlier this year, a powerful gamma-ray burst traveled through space from a very distant source in the cosmos. The explosion was traced back to the early universe, just millions of years after the Big ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova?These questions circle ...
