Astronomers have created a detailed forecast of where they expect to observe future stellar explosions in a nearby galaxy, ...

Maybe music artist Moby was right, and “we are all made of stars.” New research suggests the calcium in our teeth and bones came from star explosions. Researchers from Northwestern University looked ...

Scientists have for the first time peered inside a dying star as it exploded in a supernova, gaining not just unprecedented views of its layers, but more so, insight into the process of stellar ...

The handheld particle detector CosmicWatch is roughly the size of a box of animal crackers. Every time a muon passes through ...

Dark matter, if it exists, is probably in the latter category. If hypothetical weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are real, their collisions with regular matter may have left fossil traces ...

Astronomers have teamed up with citizen scientists to discover a brand-new exploding star that's greedily feeding on a stellar companion. The newly observed binary system features a cataclysmic ...
