The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted one of the earliest and most distant supernovas, marking the death of a stellar ...

There is a lot of complicated but beautiful physics in understanding how this explosion takes place,” says Purdue University ...

We know not all eruptions will not end in a supernova explosion. For example, in the 1840s, Eta Carinae—a star 100 times larger than the sun—experienced the "Great Eruption" launching 30 times ...

A newly released Hubble pic shows the galaxy LEDA 22057, where the supernova explosion occurred. The spiral galaxy's swirling ...

The fastest-spinning white dwarf ever discovered is a shrinking cosmic vampire feasting on a stellar companion. A feeding process is pushing the dead star toward an imminent supernova explosion.

JWST revealed a massive star that ended its life in an explosion when the universe was just a cosmic toddler.

a supernova that occurred 11.4 billion years ago. This stellar explosion, from a star 20 times the size of the Sun, offers a glimpse into the early universe's unique stellar evolution. Part of the ...

The sun’s solar wind, made of charged particles, interacts with powerful eruptions, affecting cosmic rays and space weather.

Like the subject of a previous Picture of the Week, LEDA 22057 is the site of a supernova explosion ... than about eight times the mass of the sun. When a star of this size uses up the supply ...

Average stars like our sun die ignominiously. They swell to enormous size, cool from yellow to red hot, and shed most of ...

The James Webb Space Telescope captured photos of one of the earliest supernovas ever seen using infrared technology, and creating a time lapse of the phenomena.

Unfortunately, the "feasting diet" that one dead star is engaged in signals its relatively imminent destruction in a violent supernova explosion ... 1.5 times that of the sun.
