A stone from out there in space could be the opening window to the first ever evidence of a Supernova explosion on Earth. Know what scientists have found. While science has come…

Supernovas are one of the most mysterious as well as luminous explosions of a star in space. In fact, they are the biggest explosions that humans have ever seen. They take place so far away that it requires powerful telescopes to spot them.…

It's not unheard of to find a surviving star at the scene of a titanic supernova explosion, which would be expected to obliterate everything around it, but the latest research from the Hubble Space Telescope has provided a long-awaited clue…

An international group of astronomers led by Benjamin Thomas of The University of Texas at Austin has used observations from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) at the university's McDonald Observatory to unlock a puzzling mystery about a…

Molecular clouds are collections of gas and dust in space. When left alone, the clouds remain in their state of peaceful equilibrium. But when triggered by some external agent, like supernova remnants, shockwaves can propagate through the…

If there’s one word I would choose to describe Hoyeon, it is yeol-shim. She exemplifies the trait Koreans pride themselves most on. To work hard, to put your heart and soul into everything, until it feels as though you might explode.The…

The result was a ringside view—as much as being 60 million light years away can be described as one—of the early moments after the star’s death. HST was on the job within hours of this one’s death. This meant that the telescope could…

A team of astronomers has discovered the fastest optical flash of a Type Ia supernova, and reports a study in the Astrophysical Journal Letters published on December 8. Many stars end their lives through a spectacular explosion. Most…

NASA took to Instagram to share an image that showed the remnants of a supernova, a large explosion that takes place at the end of a star's life cycle. And, it is indeed remarkable. NASA said the event was created by the death (explosion)…

It has long been theorized that hydrogen, helium, and lithium were the only chemical elements in existence during the Big Bang when the universe formed, and that supernova explosions, stars exploding at the end of their lifetime, are…
