During the last few days, astronomers have been pointing their telescopes toward a familiar object in the night sky for a look at a rare event: A new supernova.

A sparkling new supernova has appeared in the night sky, and a telescope atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii was perfectly poised to capture the aftermath of the cosmic burst.

An unusual star system created more of a fizz and less of a bang when it exploded in a supernova. The “ultra-stripped” supernova led researchers to discover the two stars 11,000 light-years ...

The supernova, named SN 2023ixf, is located 21 million light-years away. It should remain visible with the aid of a telescope for at least a few months, astronomers said.

The star Betelgeuse is a red supergiant that is destined to explode, but astronomers don't know exactly when the famous star will collapse. Here's what researchers do know.

The supernova, dubbed SN 2023ixf, is located in one of the spiral arms of the Pinwheel Galaxy, also known as Messier 101, which is 25 million light-years away from Earth, according to NASA.

Some stars may transform into black holes without exploding into supernovae. Now, astronomers have finally spotted it as it happened.

The supernova SN2023ixf was discovered just 21 million light years away—essentially next door, as exploded stars go.

A new supernova that burst into the night sky in May 2023 should remain visible in the Pinwheel Galaxy for some time, astronomers say.

As the next Monsterverse movie approaches, fans speculate what monster Godzilla and Kong could be facing off against next.

Astronomers developed an "early-warning system" to alert scientists when a star is on the verge of dying in a supernova explosion.

Radioactive isotopes found in meteorites suggest a supernova went off right near the Sun as it was forming – but that should have blasted the young solar system away. So how did we survive? A ...
