A star in the beautiful constellation of Corona Borealis will explode before September, becoming visible to the naked eye in the northern hemisphere. NASA reports that T Coronae Borealis ...

"The large volume of data from Rubin will give us a sample of all kinds of Type Ia supernovas at a range of distances and in ...

There is a lot of complicated but beautiful physics in understanding how this explosion takes place,” says Purdue University ...

For millions, it was an event that would be seared into their memories for the rest of their lives – on par with the Kennedy ...

Well, maybe not for everything in the cosmos. Unfortunately, the "feasting diet" that one dead star is engaged in signals its relatively imminent destruction in a violent supernova explosion.

Observing them could therefore provide a window into the death of massive stars and the creation of black holes, but there’s a catch: the supernova might have to happen in our own galaxy. Physicists ...
