Supernova

Elusive neutron star remnants of famous Supernova 1987A finally found, scientists claim

In a decade, scientists expect to be able to see emissions from the pulsar better, to back their hypothesis with evidence.

NASA's Hubble telescope captures an exploding star 70-million light-years from Earth

The supernova was observed by Hubble astronomers to “precisely measure the expansion rate of the universe”.

Stunning images from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory show cosmic objects, stars, supernovas

While Chandra captures X-rays in the outflow of stellar explosions in some images, Hubble throws light on galaxies.

Ancient supernova particles found in deep-sea sediments on the Earth

They said Iron-60 is radioactive and decays within 15 million years hence this means that any iron-60 found must have been formed much later

Universe might end in a blast with the death of several black dwarfs, finds a new study

Black dwarfs are white dwarfs that have cooled down to the temperature of the “cosmic microwave background”, and become invisible.

After ESO telescope spots massive star 'disappear', scientists baffled as to what caused it

The star, researchers say, may have disappeared after becoming less bright and being partially obscured by dust.

'Infant magnetar': 240 yo neutron star spotted after recent X-ray burst, youngest recorded

It has a magnetic field 1,000 times stronger than a typical neutron star and some 100 million times stronger than the most powerful artificial magnets.

New beast: Astronomers detect another rare blue optical transient in the universe, 500 million-light-years-away

This explosion has taken scientists by surprise because of its speed and heaviness of the material outflows.

Mystery of a massive neutron star merger in Milky Way explained by new astrophysics theory

The researchers explain both the massive mass of the object and why similar systems aren’t observed using traditional radio astronomy techniques.

Airborne observatory SOFIA sheds light on the evolution of Swan nebula

The nebula's centre has more than 100 of the galaxy’s most massive young stars, that are bigger than the Sun
