利用最新的太空望远镜，天文学家们终于找到了超新星爆炸后的中子星，揭开了一个长达十年的宇宙之谜。 在银河系的一个小伙伴——大麦哲伦星云中，有一颗曾经比太阳还要大上好几倍的恒星。它在 1987 ...

Astronomers still can’t entirely account for the explosive power of a supernova. “It was thought that this rebounding shock that’s produced when the neutron star forms could explode the star ...

This supernova, detected as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program, could help scientists add more detail to the cosmic picture of stellar life and death they are ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has caught yet another visual spectacle, depicting layers of interstellar material illuminated by a supernova in a phenomenon known as a thermal light echo.

Scientists targeted a light echo previously observed by NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope, and it is one of dozens found near remains of the Cassiopeia A supernova. The Webb images show ...

Remnants of the bygone supernova, which is the wreckage from the explosive death of a massive star, continue to captivate astronomers both for its striking beauty and science-packed complex structure.

The rare supernova, named SN 2024PI, stands out in the photo as a pale blue dot shining clearly amid thick bands of gas, located just a little down and to the right of the galaxy's milky core.

Some 350 years after a supernova, its shockwave reaches interstellar space and causes clouds of gas and dust to glow. Credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / STScI / Jacob Jencson (Caltech/IPAC) Scientists ...

Supernova is a relatively straightforward science fiction movie — at least until it isn’t. The plot centers on a six-person hospital ship that answers a distress call and rescues Karl (Peter ...
