Tiny particles called neutrinos could help determine whether a dying massive star explodes as a supernova or collapses into a ...

The Milky Way, our galaxy, has not always looked the way it does today. We see it as a band of stars across the sky, but from an external point of view, it would be a spiral galaxy with four arms and ...

It seems lunar sand is called "regolith".“Lunar sand” differs from Earth's sand in both composition and particle shape.

New simulations have recreated how the first galaxies in the universe formed and explained the “iron plateau”—the mystery of ...

Long ago, the patch of sky that would become our galactic neighbourhood looked nothing like a galaxy. It was a collection of ...

The only known supernova remnant of its kind in the Milky Way has an unexpectedly intricate structure: chains of gas knots ...

There is an exception to the rule, though, and humanity is about to see a star going supernova in the next few months. We ...

A distant star has captured astronomers' attention over the past decade, teasing them with indications that it will soon explode as a supernova. But new research shows that something else entirely is ...

Uneven supernova explosions may explain the unusual mix of elements in Milky Way stars once thought to be evidence of ...

Our basic understanding of core-collapse supernovae hasn’t changed in decades. Large stars burn through all the fuel at their cores and start creating heavier elements in reactions that consume energy ...

Ultra-detailed simulations are showing how the first stars lit up the dark Universe and seeded space with elements such as carbon, oxygen, and iron. The MEGATRON project could bridge JWST observations ...

Supernova International Ska Festival was this past weekend. Quite sadly, co-founder Tim Receveur passed away earlier this week. The festival issued a statement, but did not give immediate details. You ...
