A small, seemingly technical assumption baked into the way astronomers standardize Type Ia supernovae may be responsible for the growing tension between different measurements of dark energy. New data ...

While we understand the basic concept behind supernovae to be the final energetic stage of stellar life, there are a ton of pressing questions that continue to riddle astronomers’ minds about how they ...

Supernovae are stellar explosions of cosmic proportions (literally). They are some of the most violent events in the known universe. A single supernova emits enough energy to outshine an entire galaxy ...

Giant stars die a violent death. After a life of several million years, they collapse into themselves and then explode in what is known as a supernova. How these stars explode remains a mystery.

(Nanowerk News) Appearing ten to a hundred times brighter at its peak, and with a much faster rise toward the peak, stellar explosions AT 2018cow (nicknamed the COW) and SN 2018gep (nicknamed the GEP) ...

Sept. 14 (UPI) --Researchers have designed a new 3D model of a neutrino-driven supernova, the longest and most detailed to date. The new computer model is helping astrophysicists understand the ...
