A deep-space photo of the Jellyfish Nebula in Gemini shows a brain-like structure, capturing the supernova remnant IC 443 and surrounding interstellar gas and stars.
Microscopic crystals extracted from meteorites could help settle a debate about the birth of our patch of the Milky Way.
The James Webb Space Telescope has only been researching for three and a half years, but it has already imaged a giant star that has since exploded.
In the vast expanse of our universe, few events capture the imagination quite like supernovae—the explosive deaths of massive stars that briefly outshine entire galaxies. Among these cosmic spectacles ...
A massive star in a nearby galaxy that reached the end of its life appears to have vanished rather than blown up, forming a black hole in what astronomers think is a rare way. The most common black ...

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 ...
Scientists have detected the most distant supernova ever seen, exploding when the universe was less than a billion years old. The event was first signaled by a gamma-ray burst and later confirmed ...
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 ...
