Scientists have observed for the first time the very early stages of a supernova — the death of a star — with a massive star exploding in a distinctive olive-like shape. They used the European ...

Scientists have identified a never-before-seen supernova, SN2021yfj, which exploded after losing nearly all of its outer layers. Instead of light elements, it revealed silicon and sulfur from deep ...

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 ...

Astronomers spotted a star exploding in a supernova, some 2.2 billion light-years away. Just before exploding completely, the star was stripped of its outer layers, making it possible to observe its ...

This artist's impression shows, about 22 million light-years away, the supernova SN 2024ggi exploding in the galaxy NGC 3621. (ESO/L. Calçada via SWNS) By Dean Murray Scientists have revealed for the ...

Scientists have revealed for the first time a jaw-dropping early view of an exploding supernova. Observations with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) have revealed ...

SN 2021yfj is a new kind of supernova, challenging our understanding of stellar evolution. Its progenitor lost its outer shells well before the supernova happened and only consisted of its ...

A rare supernova let scientists glimpse a star's interior, revealing a dense silicon-sulphur shell and unexpected helium that should have vanished earlier. (Nanowerk News) An exploding star has given ...
