The powerful gravity of a galaxy embedded in a massive cluster of galaxies in this Hubble Space Telescope photo is producing multiple images of a single distant supernova far behind it. Both the ...

The Crab Nebula has been one of astronomy’s most scrutinized objects for nearly a millennium, yet Hubble’s first fresh look ...

The Crab Nebula, one of the most studied remnants of a supernova explosion observed nearly a thousand years ago, has been ...

Last time I wrote about new data that overturns the standard cosmological model. Before anyone starts dusting off their fringe cosmological models, we should note what this new study doesn't overturn.

Astronomers find an explanation for the fastest stars in the galaxy while uncovering a new mechanism for a supernova explosion. Credit: Technion illustration Astronomers call a special kind of ...

The main image at left shows a combined Webb and Hubble view of spiral galaxy NGC 1637, with the region of interest in the top right. The remaining three panels show a detailed view of a red ...

Nasa. LARGE FORMAT. HUBBLE telescope. Here, in the rubble of a supernova explosion, HUBBLE highlights a neutron star pushed out of the center of the nebula. Vintage chromogenic print. Numbering in the ...

A new discovery about what happens when a supernova – an exploding star – and a black hole collide could change the way scientists understand the lives and deaths of stars. The finding was the first ...

Scientists have detected the most distant supernova ever seen, exploding when the universe was less than a billion years old.

Yu-Jing Qin, a postdoctoral researcher at California Institute of Technology (Caltech), led a series of spectroscopic observations using Keck Observatory’s Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer, ...
