An international team of astronomers has conducted photometric and spectroscopic observations of a recently discovered ...

For the very first time, astronomers have captured a radio signal emitted by a very specific type of stellar explosion. This unprecedented observation offers us a glimpse into the final moments of ...

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

Only one such event had been documented previously, a star recorded vanishing around 2010 in a galaxy 22 million light-years ...

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and ...

A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...

The team discovered the star by analyzing archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission. They used a prediction from the 1970s that theorized that when a star underwent direct collapse, it would leave ...

Several telescopes used to observe the supernova SN Zwicky which was magnified nearly 25 times by a foreground galaxy acting as a lens. Credit: ESA/Hubble, L. Calçada ...

This artist's impression shows, about 22 million light-years away, the supernova SN 2024ggi exploding in the galaxy NGC 3621. (ESO/L. Calçada via SWNS) By Dean Murray Scientists have revealed for the ...
