When a star explodes, it sends high-energy particles out in all directions. This burst of energy can travel through space for thousands of light-years, traversing solar systems and even galaxies. The ...

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the 'devastating' effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers say these super-powerful blasts ...

Exploding stars in near-solar space may have triggered at least two mass extinction events in Earth's history. An analysis of the frequency of supernova explosions in the Milky Way, led by ...

A new AI-powered tool has reduced astronomers' workload by 85%—filtering through thousands of data alerts to identify the few genuine signals caused by supernovae (powerful explosions from dying stars ...

Two of Earth's largest mass extinction events were likely triggered by the fallout from two supernovae in nearby space. This is the conclusion of a team of researchers from Keele University, England, ...

A unique dataset of Type Ia Supernovae being released today could change how cosmologists measure the expansion history of the Universe. A unique dataset of Type Ia Supernovae being released today ...

A new JCAP paper promises to reveal supernovae only hours after they explode Supernovae are enormous explosions that mark the final stages of a star’s life. They fall into two broad categories, ...

Observing the events in space was not an easy task, and certain phenomena occurred in a very short period. A supernova was one such event, which was sudden and unpredictable, making it challenging to ...
