"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 ...

For many of them, this means exploding in a very dramatic fashion. There are several ways that a star can explode including supernovas, Type Ia supernovas, kilonova, hypernovae, and more. All of these ...

The "Landolt NASA Space Mission" will launch a tiny satellite mimicking a star into space named after an astronomer from the ...

The researchers have focused on a particular light echo near the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. This light echo comes from background material behind Cassiopeia A, not from the material ejected by ...

Rubin Observatory will soon open its eyes to the cosmos, and scientists predict it will detect millions of vampire stars exploding as they ... Credit: NASA/ LAMBDA Archive / WMAP Science Team ...

Star formation is the process by which stars are born from dense regions of gas and dust in interstellar space The process starts when some of those clumps reach a critical mass, allowing them to ...

Using infrared technology, the telescope captured a light echo caused by a massive star’s explosion, unveiling new insights into the interstellar medium and its magnetic structures. This ...

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 ...

Scientists have created over a million simulated cosmic images using the power of supercomputers to anticipate the capabilities of NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope. These synthetic images allow ...
