The explosive death of a star - a supernova - is among the most violent cosmic events, but precisely how this cataclysm looks ...

In 2023, astronomers detected a huge collision. Two unprecedentedly massive black holes had crashed an estimated 7 billion ...

Observations show the disk of our galaxy is not flat but warped and waving. Astronomers are still working out the reasons why ...

Scientists have observed the early stages of a star's violent death – a supernova – for the first time. The shape of these ...

Scientists now have observed for the first time the very early stages of a supernova, with a massive star exploding in a ...

Scientists may have solved the mystery of an "impossible" merger between two black holes so massive and fast-spinning that ...

These 3D renderings of a direct-horizon collapsar with an initially weak magnetic field illustrate the system’s evolution. Early in the collapse, accretion disk winds unbind much of the stellar ...

Scientists, using the Very Large Telescope, have captured the earliest stages of a supernova explosion, revealing a star 15 times the mass of our sun exploding in an olive-like shape. The study ...

New simulations suggest magnetic fields hold the key to forming black holes that defy known mass limits. When powerful ...

What: Astronomers using JWST and ALMA have captured the earliest known stage of planet formation around the protostar ...
