The explosive death of a star - a supernova - is among the most violent cosmic events, but precisely how this cataclysm looks ...

On April 10, 2024, astronomers began the fast-paced mission to capture supernova SN 2024ggi. Study coauthor Yi Yang of Tsinghua University in China initially learned about its sighting shortly after ...

Scientists have captured the moment the shockwave of a supernova explosion breaks out through the surface of a doomed star ...

Scientists have observed for first time the very early stages of a supernova — death of a star — with a massive star ...

Astronomers have recently made a groundbreaking discovery, capturing the earliest observations of a supernova’s initial ...

Astronomers have captured a first-of-its-kind image of a massive dying star.

When this shock reaches the surface, it releases an enormous burst of energy. The star brightens dramatically, becoming visible as a supernova. For a short period, astronomers can study the initial ...

Scientists now have observed for the first time the very early stages of a supernova, with a massive star exploding in a ...

Swift observations with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) have revealed the explosive ...

Chris Ashall, an assistant astronomer at the UH Mānoa Institute for Astronomy, was part of the global team that zeroed in on the stellar explosion known as SN 2024ggi. The supernova was first spotted ...

Some of the earliest images ever taken in the wake of massive star’s death give astronomers important clues about what triggers a supernova.

Astronomers were able to capture the shape of a supernova for the first time in the earliest hours after the outbreak, ...
