Astronomers report a supergiant star in the Andromeda Galaxy, M31-2014-DS1, collapsed directly into a black hole without a supernova, confirming predictions of failed stellar explosions.

Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have for the first time identified the progenitor of a nearby supernova -- a red supergiant star cloaked in thick, dust-rich shrouds that ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has identified the earliest known supernova, which exploded when the universe was approximately 730 million years old. The supernova, designated GRB 250314A, was ...

The Hubble Space Telescope captured imagery of supernova 2018 GV from 2018-2019. It was seen in barred spiral galaxy NGC 2525 ...

Recently, the Hubble Space Telescope captured a before-and-after image of a star exploding brightly. With the images one year apart, the contrast shows how bright a supernova is, and how that ...

A new video provides a front-row seat to a cosmic drama that has been playing out for centuries. Since 1604, when astronomers around the world recorded a new 'star' that appeared in the sky, humans ...

The team discovered the star by analyzing archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission. They used a prediction from the 1970s ...

In A Nutshell A massive star in the Andromeda Galaxy faded by more than 10,000 times over a decade and vanished from view, ...

The big picture: NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently managed to capture imagery of the oldest and farthest known supernova explosion – an event that occurred when the universe was just 730 ...

(Phys.org) —These delicate wisps of gas make up an object known as SNR B0519-69.0, or SNR 0519 for short. The thin, blood-red shells are actually the remnants from when an unstable progenitor star ...
