supernova

Astronomers discover that two large clouds of gas in the Taurus and Perseus constellations are separated by a 500 light-year-long 'cavity', thanks to an ancient supernova.

Mysterious 'empty sky' gamma-ray bursts could be the work of distant supernova explosions, a new model suggests.

In the 12th century, Chinese and Japanese astronomers spotted a supernova in the sky shining as brightly as Saturn.

Scientists predict that an ancient supernova will reappear in the sky for a 4th time in the year 2037, thanks to the meddling influence of dark matter.

A distant supernova previously imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope will be visible again from Earth and surrounding space in 2037, astronomers predict.

Astronomers have uncovered evidence of explosions triggered by dead stars ramming into live stars, possible proof of a new type of supernova, a new study finds.

Astronomers say a weird star careening through the Milky Way could have survived the explosive powers of a supernova.

A fizzled example of a gamma-ray burst, the most powerful kind of explosion known in the universe, suggests these outbursts can be surprisingly brief, researchers say.

Astronomers detected a rare teardrop-shaped star that is being ripped apart by an invisible white dwarf, pushing the pair toward an inevitable supernova explosion.

Researchers found evidence of an elusive magneto-rotational hypernova explosion for the first time ever.
