Australian astronomers have captured never-before-seen photos of an exploding giant star, 100 times bigger than the sun. The imagery of the supernova shows a powerful burst of light as a shock wave ...

Imagine being able to view microscopic aspects of a classical nova, a massive stellar explosion on the surface of a white dwarf star, in a laboratory rather than from afar via a telescope. Cosmic ...

NASA is celebrating the holiday season with photographs of the remnants of a supernova star captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. The star, named Cassiopeia A (Cas A), shines brightly from ...

Caught For The First Time: NASA Show The Early Flash Of An Exploding Star NASA's planet-hunting Kepler space telescope has captured footage from the flash of an exploding star for the first time.

Astronomers have put together the first three-dimensional reconstruction of an exploding star (known as a supernova). Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, they looked at ...

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 ...

ASTRONOMERS will be able to see the brightest exploding star for 40 years – with just a pair of ­ordinary binoculars. The supernova, known as PTF11kly, is 21million light years away in the Great Bear ...
