The star, situated in a galaxy orbiting our own tens of thousands of light-years away, may be on the verge of a spectacular demise.

here’s a glimpse of what to expect in 2037—a very special year for stargazing and astronomy: When the light from a distant object—like a supernova—passes very near to a foreground galaxy ...

We also see the presence of ionized silicon near peak brightness, which no other type of supernova has. This tells us that Type Ia supernova are not caused by the core collapse of a star, but ...

"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 ...

The evolution of the supernova explosion is still being studied to this day, and what exactly happened from 2009 to 2012 remains a mystery. In a recent paper, published in Astronomy and ...
