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

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

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. To date, there’s only sufficiently robust evidence for the existence of two classes of supernovae—that is, star explosions. But ...

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 ...

An artist’s illustration depicts silicon, argon and sulfur releasing from a massive star. - Adam Makarenko/W. M. Keck Observatory Astronomers have observed what they are calling a new type of ...

It’s easy to forget that stars, just like us, have lifetimes. They’re born, they live, and eventually, they die. And for some stars, their death is dramatic, producing an explosion so powerful it can ...

The exploding stars known as Type Ia supernovae serve an important role in measuring the universe, and were used to discover the existence of dark energy. They’re bright enough to see across large ...

Supernova 2018zd, marked with a white circle on the outskirts of galaxy NGC2146, is the first example of a new, third type of supernova predicted 40 years ago. Composite image with data from the ...

To date, there’s only sufficiently robust evidence for the existence of two classes of supernovae—that is, star explosions. But there have been plenty of signs that there are likely other types in the ...

EVANSTON, Ill. — Astronomers have observed what they are calling a new type of supernova, which has provided an unparalleled glimpse into what happens deep within a star just before it explodes. A ...
