According to scientists, red supergiant stars should produce more supernovas. But astronomers just aren’t spotting them. Here ...

When the first gravitational wave (GW) was detected back in 2015, scientists said they had opened a new window into the Universe. While most of astronomy is based on detecting electromagnetic energy, ...

In December 2024, the ATLAS astronomical survey detected a distant flash of light. It was a supernova, the explosive death of a massive star, located far, far away, roughly a billion light-years away.

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.
