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 ...

An illustration of a young solar system immersed in high-energy cosmic rays from a nearby supernova. Unlike considering only direct injection of supernova ejecta, this process naturally explains key ...

Scientists have detected the most distant supernova ever seen, exploding when the universe was less than a billion years old. The event was first signaled by a gamma-ray burst and later confirmed ...

Hypervelocity stars (HVS) are celestial bodies moving at speeds sufficient to escape the Milky Way's gravitational pull, with a primary proposed origin involving binary star interactions with the ...

This two-toned sphere is evidence of a rare double-detonating supernova, captured by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. Astronomers at the University of New South Wales ...

Some search for battle, others are born into it ...

Astronomers using AI have captured a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event: a massive star’s violent death triggered by its black hole companion. The explosion, known as SN 2023zkd, not only produced a ...

Explosions of all varieties are booming throughout the universe. When a massive star dies, for instance, it bursts in a bright supernova, sometimes leaving behind a dead core called a neutron star.

Outside hitter Bethania de la Cruz, opposite hitter Jess Schaben-Lansman, and middle blocker Hristina Vuchkova choose not to play for the Supernovas in 2025. The Supernovas kept the momentum from ...
