An international team of astronomers has achieved a first in probing the early universe, using the James Webb Space Telescope ...

When a massive star runs out of fuel and approaches the end of its life, it explodes in a huge outpouring of energy called a supernova. These events can be so bright that they outshine entire galaxies ...

Scientists have detected the most distant supernova ever seen, exploding when the universe was less than a billion years old.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured new imagery of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. It is 11,000 light-years away in ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have captured a stunning image of a distant supernova in a galaxy that looks like it's being stretched like warm taffy. However, the golden smear ...

When massive stars reach the end of their lives and explode in a supernova, they can leave behind huge structures in space called supernova remnants. These are often favorite targets of astronomers ...

The Hubble Space Telescope snapped a new view of a hazy spiral galaxy that once hosted a supernova explosion. The galaxy, formally known as NGC 941, lies about 55 million light-years from Earth. Its ...

A dozen luminous blue outbursts were thought to be unusual supernovae. A new outburst, the brightest yet, suggests it's ...

The era of stationary spacecraft may soon be over. Portal Space Systems, a company headed by propulsion expert Jeff Thornburg, is looking to help usher in a new renaissance in in-space transportation ...

Scientists used gravitational lensing to discover a rare supernova duplicated 4 times by the mass of an enormous galaxy. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The long-serving space telescope observed the supernova in a galaxy 150 million light-years away which released 2.5 billion times more energy than the sun. When you purchase through links on our site, ...
