Several telescopes used to observe the supernova SN Zwicky which was magnified nearly 25 times by a foreground galaxy acting ...

Astronomers say they've captured the clearest look yet of a star on the brink of supernova. An international team used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to backtrack and find the original star that ...

A distant stellar explosion has offered astronomers a rare natural experiment, one that turns gravity into a powerful optical tool. The object, known as SN 2025wny, appears not once but four times in ...

A scintillating spiral galaxy that played host to two supernova explosions in the past 30 years takes center stage in a new image captured by a telescope in Chile's high desert. The galaxy NGC 1187 is ...

What happens to a large star near the end of its lifetime before it explodes as a supernova? This is what a recent study ...

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 ...

Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of the sun. These stars develop oxygen-neon-magnesium cores, which become ...
