Using cutting-edge theoretical models and data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have transformed astronomical observations into detailed 3D models of cosmic objects — models that ...

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope "detected none of the high-energy gamma-ray light" from a nearby supernova. NASA ...

NASA just released a new image from its Webb Space Telescope of renowned supernova SN 1987A, located 168,000 light years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud. It was first discovered in February 1987, ...

A study of supernova remnant SNR 0519-69.0 using the Chandra X-ray telescope, Hubble and more has narrowed down its age to ...

Chris Ashall, an assistant astronomer at the UH Mānoa Institute for Astronomy, was part of the global team that zeroed in on the stellar explosion known as SN 2024ggi. The supernova was first spotted ...

While pottering around the universe, the Hubble Space Telescope recently clicked a photo of a dying star. The image sent back to Earth looks like a giant lidless eye peering back at the telescope, as ...

A magnetar known to scientists for 17 years might not have come from a supernova, like the rest of its ultra-magnetic brethren. But where did it form, then? The Hubble Space Telescope is on the case.

After three years of searching, scientists have caught the elusive phenomenon. — -- The "brilliant flash" that occurs when a star dies and explodes has been captured for the first time in visible ...
