A puzzling cosmic blast detected in both light and gravitational waves may hint at a previously unseen type of explosion, challenging astronomers to rethink how neutron stars are born and collide.

Astronomers report a strange cosmic blast that looked like a kilonova, then behaved like a supernova, hinting at a possible first “superkilonova” and leaving scientists debating how stars truly die.

How common are Earth-like planets in the universe? When I started working on supernova explosions, I never imagined that my ...

Webb traced the light of a dying star, supernova GRB 250314A, from when the universe was only 730 million years old.

The bright binary star system V Sagittae will flare up multiple times before finally going supernova within the next 100 years. When it explodes, it could be visible to the naked eye even in sunlit ...
