A massive star exploded as a supernova around 11,300 years ago. Its remnants are one of the most studied supernova remnants out there. It is called Cassiopeia A (Cas A), and more details have been ...

Using NASA's Chandra spacecraft and ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, astronomers have investigated the galaxy NGC 7793, searching for supernova remnants (SNRs). As a result, they discovered four new X-ray ...

“A standard image of the supernova remnant would be like a static photo of a fireworks display,” said study coauthor Christopher Martin, professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology ...

A violent and chaotic-looking mass of gas and dust is seen in this Hubble Space Telescope image of a nearby supernova remnant. Denoted N 63A, the object is the remains of a massive star that exploded, ...

Supernova 1987A, the nearest observed supernova in modern history, continues to offer profound insights into the life‐cycle of massive stars. Its distinctive features, including a prominent equatorial ...

The universe is full of extreme phenomena. Perhaps this is what draws some people to astronomy — it has some of the most extreme physics out there. And supernovae are some of the most extraordinary ...

When scientists aimed the European Space Agency's X-ray observatory, XMM-Newton, at two mysterious lights on the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud, they discovered an unexpected source: two ...
