In a recent groundbreaking discovery in astrophysics, astronomers have unveiled the presence of a “ghost star” nestled within ...

A distant supernova exposed elements from a star’s core. The result reshapes ideas of how massive stars evolve. According to long-standing theory, stars are built in layers like onions, with each ...

A study using the NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other X-ray telescopes has revealed that "an exploded star can pose ...

This material, says a team led by astrophysicist Steve Schulze of Northwestern University in the US, constitutes the first direct evidence of the theorized concentric shells of different elements that ...

The supernova explosion, designated as SN 2018gv, is found in the spiral galaxy NGC 2525. According to NASA, Hubble began ...

Around 11,300 years ago, a massive star teetered on the precipice of annihilation. It pulsed with energy as it expelled its ...

A supernova blast 2.2 billion light-years from Earth has given astronomers a deeper view into a star's centre than ever ...

Astronomers have used a new type of extreme supernova in which a massive star was stripped right "down to the bone" to better understand the process of stellar life and death.
