Using data from the Keck Cosmic Web Imager, an animation has been created that "reveals a 3-D slice through a network of hydrogen gas filaments that crisscross the spaces between galaxies," according ...
A distant supernova exposed elements from a star’s core. The result reshapes ideas of how massive stars evolve. According to long-standing theory, stars are built in layers like onions, with each ...

Astronomers have witnessed a rare “extremely stripped supernova” that exposed the inner silicon layers of a dying star, confirming theories of stellar fusion and offering new insight into how ...
Researchers observed a supernova in progress that showed the onion-like structure of elements in stars, and the explosion may belong to a class of its own ...
Reading are playing a vital role this week in an important NASA mission to photograph Jupiter.   Dr James O’Donoghue and a team ...
EVANSTON, Ill. — Astronomers have observed what they are calling a new type of supernova, which has provided an unparalleled glimpse into what happens deep within a star just before it explodes. A ...
Jupiter-like planet 8 UMi b, named Halla, orbits its host red giant star Baekdu closely. The red giant's merger with a white dwarf star questions how Halla could exist. Credit: Space.com | animation ...
On 16 March 2025, the CHIME radio telescope in Canada recorded a one-off fast radio burst ( FRB) so powerful, astronomers initially weren't sure about what they were looking at – discharging in mere ...
The James Webb Space Telescope imaged galaxy NGC 4141, where astronomers traced the precise origin of a recent fast radio burst and its potential red giant companion, annotated in the inset as NIR-1.
