The Crab Nebula, one of the most studied remnants of a supernova explosion observed nearly a thousand years ago, has been revisited by the Hubble Space Telescope. In a recent study available on ArXiv, ...

The powerful gravity of a galaxy embedded in a massive cluster of galaxies in this Hubble Space Telescope photo is producing multiple images of a single distant supernova far behind it. Both the ...

A supernova explosion, from a massive star, occurred roughly 2,400 years ago. Its light reached Earth around 10,000 years ago, appearing brighter than Venus. The explosion's remnants are now visible ...

Last time I wrote about new data that overturns the standard cosmological model. Before anyone starts dusting off their fringe cosmological models, we should note what this new study doesn't overturn.

Astronomers find an explanation for the fastest stars in the galaxy while uncovering a new mechanism for a supernova explosion. Credit: Technion illustration Astronomers call a special kind of ...
