Astronomers have discovered that the birth of neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's ...

For the first time, scientists captured a supernova just hours after it began. This rare moment revealed the true shape of ...

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new supernova remnant (SNR) using radio observations. The ...

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 ...

Hot gases within the cluster, known as the intracluster medium (ICM), emit powerful X-rays detectable by telescopes. These gases are produced by billions of supernova explosions, and their chemical ...

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 ...

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 ...
