A research team in Japan has created a groundbreaking Milky Way simulation that follows more than 100 billion stars with a level of detail that was once thought impossible.

Thanks to observations using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO), astronomers have ...

Humanity can survive a supernova explosion due to the fact that the closest potential candidate is at a safe distance.

For the first time, astronomers unveiled the shape of a supernova at its earliest stage.

The explosion, known as SN 2024ggi, was first detected on the night of 10 April 2024 local time. Yi Yang, an assistant professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing and the study's lead author, had just ...

Astronomers find an explanation for the fastest stars in the galaxy while uncovering a new mechanism for a supernova explosion. Credit: Technion illustration Astronomers call a special kind of ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, recorded the moment a star’s explosion broke through its surface. The nearby supernova, ...
