The cosmos began expanding with the Big Bang but then around 10 billion years later it strangely began to accelerate thanks ...
An international team of astronomers, led by researchers from the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Warsaw, have ...
Type Ia supernovae originate in binary star systems—systems where two stars orbit each other. In one possible scenario, there are two stars approximately the same size—let's say about the size ...
A new class of X-ray explosions, 'millinovas,' has been identified, with bright emissions 100 times the Sun's output ...
A groundbreaking discovery by an international team of astronomers has revealed a completely new class of cosmic X-ray ...
New research challenges dark energy's existence, suggesting the 'timescape model' better explains cosmic expansion through ...
Their discovery would not have been possible without a special cosmic yardstick—exploding stars, or supernovae—specifically the variety known as Type Ia. Because Type Ia supernovae are visible ...
