The shockwave caused by the supernova explosion expands, having a strong impact on the composition and physical state of surrounding interstellar materials. It also emits kinetic energy into ...

For the first time, astronomers have spotted a star that exploded not once, but twice. A new image of a roughly 300-year-old supernova provides visual evidence that some dying stars undergo a double ...

Considering this, Arzoumanian and the team estimated that it would take around 300,000 years for the supernova shockwave to break up the dense filament shielding the infant solar system.

MUSE allows astronomers to map the distribution of different chemical elements, displayed here in different colours. Calcium is shown in blue, and it is arranged in two concentric shells. These two ...

Core collapse supernovae are among the most powerful and dramatic events in the cosmos. When a massive star reaches the end ...

Though the Hubble Telescope has observed the evolution of this ring for decades, the new Webb images show bright spots and scattered debris clouds beyond the ring's main body, implying the supernova ...

Early Flash of Exploding Star Caught for 1st Time The brilliant flash of an exploding star's shockwave has been captured for the first time in visible light by NASA's Kepler space telescope.

It’s blue-shifted because of the Doppler effect, which means it’s heading straight for us. And the supernova E0102, in the Small Magellanic Cloud, is only 190,000 light years away. Brace for ...

(NEW YORK) -- The "brilliant flash" that occurs when a star dies and explodes has been captured for the first time in visible light by NASA's Kepler space telescope, according to NASA&# ...

An international group of astronomers has uncovered new clues about a mysterious stellar explosion that was discovered eight years ago, but is continuing to evolve even as scientists watch. The ...
