"The best-case scenario for axions is Fermi catches a supernova. It's just that the chance of that is small." Gamma rays emerging from neutron stars at the hearts of supernova explosions could ...
But in this case no such optical outburst was spotted, leading astronomers to think it is one of the first ever examples of a type of stellar collapse known as a "failed supernova." They published ...
A supernova could strip Earth's ozone layer, causing mass extinction No known stars near Earth pose an immediate supernova threat Gamma-ray bursts could be even more dangerous than supernovas ...
When the bright star Betelgeuse explodes, it will be an impressive sight. The stellar explosion, known as a supernova, will be brighter than any planet and almost as bright as the full moon.
Today, we know them to be not stars being born but stars in their death throes, and we call the event a supernova. (The earliest record of a possible supernova appears in a prehistoric rock carving ...
A celestial light show illuminates a distant spiral galaxy, where a hidden supernova briefly outshines its stellar neighbors in a new image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxy, called NGC ...
New observations, reported in the Nov. 1 Astrophysical Journal Letters, capture the 3-D structure and motion of debris left in the wake of a supernova that was seen to detonate almost 900 years ago.
Adidas has done it again! The Supernova Rise 2, the latest addition to the brand’s comfort-focused running shoe franchise, has officially landed – and it’s bringing some serious upgrades to ...
In it, the “behemoth” star appears to puff out gas and dust, a critical final step before exploding in a supernova. The star, known as WOH G64, is 160,000 light-years from Earth in the Large ...
A red supergiant star got brighter and brighter,as if it was about to go supernova – and then dramatically dimmed, disappearing from view from most telescopes. Researchers believe they may have ...
