An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new supernova remnant (SNR) using radio observations. The ...

A mysterious cosmic explosion has astronomers buzzing, as a strange event may hint at an entirely new kind of stellar ...

Astronomers call this "eruptive mass loss," and it's a stellar drama we're still trying to fully grasp.

When the first gravitational wave (GW) was detected back in 2015, scientists said they had opened a new window into the Universe. While most of astronomy is based on detecting electromagnetic energy, ...

In December 2024, the ATLAS astronomical survey detected a distant flash of light. It was a supernova, the explosive death of a massive star, located far, far away, roughly a billion light-years away.

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and these signals offer new insights into how massive stars meet their demise.
