The Zwicky Transient Facility has reached an incredible milestone: It has classified over 10,000 cosmic explosions that mark the deaths of massive stars and the feeding frenzies of vampire stellar ...

"The sheer amount of radiated energy from these bursts is so large that you can't power them with a core collapse stellar ...

NEW YORK – Scientists for the first time have spotted the insides of a dying star as it exploded, offering a rare peek into stellar evolution. Stars can live for millions to trillions of years until ...

A rare supernova let scientists glimpse a star's interior, revealing a dense silicon-sulphur shell and unexpected helium that should have vanished earlier. (Nanowerk News) An exploding star has given ...

Sparse halos of neutrinos within the hearts of exploding stars exert a previously unrecognized influence on the physics of the explosion and may alter which elements can be forged by these violent ...

Some exploding stars (supernovae) experience two blasts. These double explosions occur in white dwarf stars. The explosions create two distinct calcium-rich layers. This discovery helps explain how ...

Scientists have for the first time peered inside a dying star as it exploded in a supernova, gaining not just unprecedented views of its layers, but more so, insight into the process of stellar ...

Maybe music artist Moby was right, and “we are all made of stars.” New research suggests the calcium in our teeth and bones came from star explosions. Researchers from Northwestern University looked ...

Astronomers have studied 3,600 supernovas to discover diversity in exploding white dwarf stars, a vital tool in the investigation of dark energy.
