This revelation means scientists might have to rethink Type II supernova models, which would result in some of these cosmic explosions being ruled out as a source of neutrinos, virtually massless, chargeless "ghost particles" that stream through space at near light-speed.

T CrB is a binary star system known for its predictable, though slightly irregular, eruptions, with historical records dating back to 1217. Past eruptions, including the most recent one in 1946, saw the star briefly surge to a magnitude of V=2 to 3,

The first double-burst supernova ever observed, SNR 0509, is a historic discovery that reveals how white dwarfs explode in the cosmos.

Astronomers have detected the first “heartbeat” of a newborn star within a cosmic explosion, revealing a rapidly spinning magnetar and reshaping the understanding of gamma-ray bursts.

Astronomers have discovered the longest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, revealing that a black hole literally consumed a star from the inside out over the course of seven hours.

What can an exploding star in a distant galaxy teach scientists about red supergiants? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated how a supernova millions of light years ...

The explosion at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital could mean not every cast member is returning to Grey's Anatomy for season 22. During the May 2025 finale of the hit ABC series, Piper Perabo played a mot

In the 1960s, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union signed a treaty banning nuclear weapons tests inside Earth’s atmosphere. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Air Force launched the Vela satellites, 12 surveillance devices parked in Earth orbit. Their job was to look for gamma rays produced by the now-banned weapons tests.
