What happens to a large star near the end of its lifetime before it explodes as a supernova? This is what a recent study ...
Massive stars, those with initial masses exceeding eight times that of the Sun, undergo complex evolutionary processes that ultimately culminate in spectacular supernova explosions. During their ...
An extremely early Type II supernova explosion, named after the Titan goddess of dawn in Greek mythology, occurred just 1 ...
Artist's impression of a supernova. By ESO/M. Kornmesser/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY My hypothesis is that remnants of a supernova – an exploding star – had an impact on the Earth’s past climate, causing ...
