Massive stars about eight times more massive than the sun explode as supernovae at the end of their lives. The explosions, ...

Astronomers have used a range of telescopes, including Hubble, to watch as particles dance around a neutron star collision ...

The outward force from its fusion can no longer counteract the star's powerful gravity, and the star collapses in on itself.

The kilonova briefly mimicked the conditions immediately following the Big Bang, and allowed scientists to confirm the source ...

Astronomers have spotted pure chaos lurking in the cosmos. Thousands of light years away from Earth, a small yet intensely ...

But how could the gathering of axion clouds happen, and why are neutron stars and not, say, black holes the ideal bodies to ...

The explosion occurs when the star's fusion can no longer balance its intense gravity, leading to an inward collapse. The resulting supernova blast can outshine entire galaxies for months and ...
