A Type Ia supernova named Encore is the second multiply-imaged supernova detected in MRG-M0138, a galaxy around 10 billion light-years away in the constellation...
Removing the hydrogen-rich layers from a main sequence star exposes the helium-rich core. Such stripped helium stars are known at high and low masses,...
The rapid neutron capture process, or the so-called r-process, occurs in neutron-rich environments such as neutron star mergers or certain types of supernovae....
Objects in space reveal different aspects of their composition and behavior at different wavelengths of light. A supernova remnant called Cassiopeia A...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured a beautiful new image of the intermediate spiral galaxy NGC 941.

Using spectropolarimetric data gathered by various telescopes around the globe, astronomers from the University of Amsterdam and elsewhere have identified...
The dust reservoirs observed in two type IIP supernovae, SN 2004et and SN 2017eaw, both in the medium-sized, face-on spiral galaxy NGC 6946 about 22 million...
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has delivered an unrivalled snapshot of the spiral galaxy UGC 11860.
This Hubble image shows UGC 11860, a spiral galaxy...
A supernova dubbed SN 2023ixf was discovered on May 19, 2023 by the Japanese astronomer Koichi Itagaki.
SN 2023ixf (lower left) exploded in one of the...
Early Universe’s stars had up to several hundred solar masses. The earliest stars of 140-260 solar masses became pair-instability supernovae (PISNe)....
The new image from the OmegaCAM instrument on ESO’s VLT Survey Telescope shows a spectacular part of the Vela supernova remnant.
This OmegaCAM/VST image...
The detection of the Type Ia supernova SN 2020eyj at radio wavelengths show that the exploded white dwarf had a helium-rich companion.

The gravitationally lensed Supernova (SN) Refsdal was discovered by University of Minnesota astronomer Patrick Kelly in 2014 in the field of MACS J1149.6+2223,...
Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected three distant gas clouds whose chemical composition matches what they expect from the...
The aftermaths of supernovae always produce X-rays, but if the supernova’s blast wave strikes dense surrounding gas, it can produce a particularly large...
Located 6,500 light-years away in the constellation of Taurus, the Crab Nebula and its pulsar formed in a supernova whose light reached Earth in July 1054.
