Maybe music artist Moby was right, and “we are all made of stars.” New research suggests the calcium in our teeth and bones came from star explosions. Researchers from Northwestern University looked ...

DURING the past 10 million years, a series of stars in the Earth’s neighbourhood exploded, raining a radioactive form of iron into our oceans. The remnants of these supernovae hit the Earth between ...

Astronomers have been able to catch the earliest phases of supernova explosions with one of the most powerful observatories on Earth. These incredible observations have provided our first look at what ...

Astronomers have captured the clearest-ever close-up images of two exploding stars, events known as novae, within days of their eruption. These detailed images show that such explosions are far more ...

Scientists have revealed for the first time a jaw-dropping early view of an exploding supernova. Observations with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) have revealed ...

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 ...

This supernova is one for the record books. A mammoth star explosion known as SN2016aps, which occurred in a galaxy about 3.6 billion light-years from Earth, is the brightest supernova ever seen, a ...
