Scientists measured phosphorus-26 and sulfur-27 atoms with high precision. Discovery shows neutron star explosions are stronger and faster than thought. Findings improve models of element formation ...

For more than a century, astronomers have known that some “new stars” flaring into view are not births at all but violent outbursts on long‑dead stellar cores. What they lacked was a clear, close look ...

The first detailed map of supernova SN 2024ggi shows an unexpected asymmetric shape (Image: ESO/L. Calçada) Astronomers have captured a supernova’s shape in unprecedented detail. SN 2024ggi exploded ...

Images of Nova Herculis 2021 (V1674 Her) taken with the CHARA Array, two and three days after the eruption began. The images show two outflows expanding in nearly perpendicular directions, forming an ...

Astronomers have created a detailed forecast of where they expect to observe future stellar explosions in a nearby galaxy, opening a new window into how exploding stars shape the cosmos. Focusing on ...

Learn how new high-resolution images of two nova eruptions offer fresh insight into how these stellar explosions release material and generate shock waves. For the first time, astronomers have caught ...
