In our galaxy, a supernova explodes about once or twice each century. But historical astronomical records show that the last ...
Astronomers evaluate how the Vera C. Rubin Observatory can detect and localize the next Milky Way core-collapse supernova using neutrino alerts and optical surveys.
A massive star exploded as a supernova around 11,300 years ago. Its remnants are one of the most studied supernova remnants out there. It is called Cassiopeia A (Cas A), and more details have been ...
Astronomers have recently made a groundbreaking discovery, revealing the surprising hidden geometry of a supernova. This revelation, which challenges previous understandings of these cosmic explosions ...
Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of the sun. These stars develop oxygen-neon-magnesium cores, which become ...
In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help astronomers find a supernova right as it begins. At this very moment, ...
