When a star in the nearby galaxy NGC 2146 exploded in late 2024, it barely registered by supernova standards. The blast, ...

A distant supernova, SN 2025mkn, became visible from nine billion light years away after a galaxy’s gravity bent and brightened its light, helping scientists study it in detail.

A Northwestern University-led team of astronomers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to discover a former star that exploded millions of years ago. The star, which was in a nearby galaxy, exploded ...

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and these signals offer new insights into how massive stars meet their demise.
