Kepler's supernova remnant is extremely exciting for astronomers – a rare example of a supernova for which we have a clear ...

In 1181 AD, a bright "guest star" was observed to linger in the sky for around six months. Nearly 850 years later, the likely ...

A distant stellar explosion has offered astronomers a rare natural experiment, one that turns gravity into a powerful optical tool. The object, known as SN 2025wny, appears not once but four times in ...

This image, taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), shows the supernova remnant SNR 0509-67.5. Astronomers studying the night sky from the Southern Hemisphere have uncovered a supernova — the ...
