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 ...

Astronomers have captured the first radio waves ever detected from a rare class of exploding star, a discovery that has given them an unprecedented look into the final years of a massive star before ...

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 ...

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

The signals provide astronomers with a look into the life, and death, of a massive star exploding into a supernova.

In our galaxy, a supernova explodes about once or twice each century. But historical astronomical records show that the last ...

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 ...

It's never too late to solve a cold case. A new paper from Syracuse University researchers proposes an explanation for both a mysterious stellar object discovered in the year 2013 and an astronomical ...

Astronomers may have discovered a never-before-seen cosmic explosion that effectively combines a supernova with a kilonova—the blast that results when two dead, dense stars collide. When massive stars ...
