SN 1987A is the only supernova visible to the naked eye in the last 400 years and the most studied supernova in history. The event was a core-collapse...
Technosignatures are any measurable property that may provide evidence of extraterrestrial technology. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI)...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured a detailed image of a spectacular part of IC 438, a spiral galaxy located in the constellation...
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken a new picture of the relatively small galaxy UGC 5189A, which is found in the constellation of Leo.
This...
Odd radio circles (ORCs), a class of extragalactic astronomical sources discovered in 2019, are in fact shells formed by outflowing galactic winds, possibly...
30 Doradus B, also cataloged as NGC 2060, is found in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
At the center of this complex...
A Type Ia supernova named Encore is the second multiply-imaged supernova detected in MRG-M0138, a galaxy around 10 billion light-years away in the constellation...
Removing the hydrogen-rich layers from a main sequence star exposes the helium-rich core. Such stripped helium stars are known at high and low masses,...
The rapid neutron capture process, or the so-called r-process, occurs in neutron-rich environments such as neutron star mergers or certain types of supernovae....
