On May 20, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope sent its first image to Earth. This photo turned out to be 50% sharper than ...

A research team at the , Academia Sinica (ASIAA) has achieved groundbreaking insights into the physics of supernova shockwaves. Using the powerful Kawas computing cluster at ASIAA, the team conducted ...

Astronomers still can’t entirely account for the explosive power of a supernova. “It was thought that this rebounding shock that’s produced when the neutron star forms could explode the star ...

Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) captured this detailed image of SN 1987A (Supernova 1987A). Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, Mikako Matsuura (Cardiff University), Richard Arendt (NASA-GSFC, UMBC), Claes ...

This supernova, detected as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program, could help scientists add more detail to the cosmic picture of stellar life and death they are ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has caught yet another visual spectacle, depicting layers of interstellar material illuminated by a supernova in a phenomenon known as a thermal light echo.

Scientists targeted a light echo previously observed by NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope, and it is one of dozens found near remains of the Cassiopeia A supernova. The Webb images show ...

Remnants of the bygone supernova, which is the wreckage from the explosive death of a massive star, continue to captivate astronomers both for its striking beauty and science-packed complex structure.

The Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a snapshot of a rare supernova that sits in the Gemini constellation, about 650 million light-years away from Earth. A newly released Hubble pic shows ...

Supernova is a relatively straightforward science fiction movie — at least until it isn’t. The plot centers on a six-person hospital ship that answers a distress call and rescues Karl (Peter ...

Some 350 years after a supernova, its shockwave reaches interstellar space and causes clouds of gas and dust to glow. Credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / STScI / Jacob Jencson (Caltech/IPAC) Scientists ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) The first supernovae in the early universe significantly enriched the cosmos with water. These early stars, known as Population III, were massive and composed ...
