A burst of light in the deep sky is doing something it should not be able to do. It looks like one supernova, but it shows up ...

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified the progenitor star of supernova 2025pht, a stellar explosion that occurred 40 million years ago in the galaxy NGC 1637. This discovery, detailed in a ...

Discover how the giant star WOH G64, one of the largest known, transformed in 2014 and might be heading for a supernova.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured the first published detection of a supernova progenitor in galaxy NGC 1637, revealing a red supergiant star before explosion.

Astronomers report a supergiant star in the Andromeda Galaxy, M31-2014-DS1, collapsed directly into a black hole without a supernova, confirming predictions of failed stellar explosions.

An international team of astronomers has conducted photometric and spectroscopic observations of a recently discovered ...

Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have for the first time identified the progenitor of a nearby supernova -- a red supergiant star cloaked in thick, dust-rich shrouds that ...

The 1987 supernova (SN 1987A) occurred in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), not the Milky Way. The LMC is a smaller satellite of the Milky Way, but astronomers still consider it to be outside our ...

Some stars in our galaxy, known as hypervelocity stars, move much faster than most other stars in the Milky Way. In fact, they are traveling so fast that our galaxy’s gravity can’t hold onto them and ...

The light from the explosion did not reach Earth till June 29, 2025, when the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae detected it.

An international team of scientists led by the Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) and the ...
