The Chandra X-ray Observatory is the darling of high-energy astrophysics. Famed for providing unequaled x-ray views of ...

Fast radio bursts — powerful and poorly understood cosmic eruptions — tend to occur in massive galaxies that host long-dead ...

Betelgeuse’s future supernova won’t harm Earth, but close cosmic explosions could strip our ozone, risking life. Gamma-ray ...

Since the formation of Earth approximately 4.5 billion years ago, the convection and release of hot magma in its mantle layer ...

To estimate how close a supernova would have to be to cause serious damage to Earth, we must first look at a supernova's ...

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

The explosion of the sun is a threat straight out of science ... Supernovae can give birth to black holes and neutron stars, ...

This supports the theoretical model predicting such an origin. The data suggest that the engine driving these FRBs could be a ...

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

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

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 ...

Stars have a life and death-cycle. Those that are about eight times more massive than the Sun explode as supernovae at the ...
