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

A new study suggests that the red supergiant WOH G64, also known as the "behemoth star," has not transitioned into a yellow ...

Astronomers have strengthened long-standing predictions that massive runaway stars could have originated in binary pairs, and ...

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

The universe is almost 13.8 billion years old, but every now and then, astronomers detect echoes from its distant past. One such occasion occurred earlier in 2025, when NASA scientists reported ...

Astronomers have captured the first radio signals from a rare supernova, revealing intense activity in a star’s final years before it exploded.

"Our study provides a new direction to understand the whole evolutionary history of massive stars toward the formation of black hole binaries." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

Solar storms are eruptions that release some of the energy stored in the sun's strong magnetic field. These can create ...

For the first time, astronomers have captured radio signals from a rare exploding star, exposing what happened in the years ...

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 ...

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 ...

Every year, around 1,000 Type Ia supernovas erupt in the sky. These stellar explosions brighten and then fade away in a pattern so repeatable that they’re used as “standard candles”—objects so ...
