SN 2024abfl, a low-luminosity Type IIP supernova in the galaxy NGC 2146. This rare find is shedding new light on how stars ...

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 ...

In A Nutshell A massive star in the Andromeda Galaxy faded by more than 10,000 times over a decade and vanished from view, likely collapsing into a black hole without exploding as a supernova ...

This artist’s impression shows a star going supernova. About 22 million light-years away the supernova, SN 2024ggi, exploded in the galaxy NGC 3621. Using the ESO’s Very Large Telescope, astronomers ...

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

A deep space photographer spent months photographing the Crab Nebula and found his composite image, when compared with the 1999 image from the Hubble Space Telescope, shows the supernova's expansion.

The James Webb Space Telescope and other international observatories have spotted a 13-billion-year-old supernova. On Tuesday, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced the sighting of a gamma-ray ...

In the nearby Andromeda Galaxy, a massive star bright enough to stand out for years has gone dark. Not in a blaze of glory.

The big picture: NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently managed to capture imagery of the oldest and farthest known supernova explosion – an event that occurred when the universe was just 730 ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team of astronomers has found the earliest known supernova, one which exploded when the universe was just 730 million years old. This observation ...

Since their first detection, powerful bursts of X-rays from distant galaxies, known as fast X-ray transients (FXTs), have mystified astronomers. FXTs have historically been elusive events, occurring ...
