Astronomers have studied 3,600 supernovas to discover diversity in exploding white dwarf stars, a vital tool in the ...
Astronomers have obtained remarkably detailed images of two stellar explosions -- called novae -- just days after they began.
Gamma-ray bursts, as shown in this illustration, come from powerful astronomical events. NASA, ESA and M. Kornmesser When faraway stars explode, they send out flashes of energy called gamma-ray bursts ...
Stars like the Sun are remarkably constant. They vary in brightness by only 0.1% over years and decades, thanks to the fusion of hydrogen into helium that powers them. This process will keep the Sun ...
Dark matter is a ghostly substance that astronomers have failed to detect for decades, yet which we know has an enormous influence on normal matter in the universe, such as stars and galaxies. Through ...

Mysterious bright blue cosmic blasts triggered by black holes shredding stars, scientists say. 'It's definitely not just an exploding star.'
"The sheer amount of radiated energy from these bursts is so large that you can't power them with a core collapse stellar ...

Nearly 4.5 million years ago, two enormous, blazing stars swung close to the solar system. They did not touch the sun, but they came close enough to leave a permanent mark on the thin mist of gas that ...
You’d think that supernovae – the death throes of massive stars and among the brightest, most powerful explosions in the universe – would be hard to miss. Yet the number of these blasts observed in ...
As omnipotent as God and the Devil can be, it turns out that sometimes being knocked down a peg can provide a golden opportunity for comedy, especially when both are turned into cats with diminished ...
