Venus blazes near Zeta Tauri, recreating the sight astronomers saw in 1054 when the Crab Nebula’s progenitor star went ...

Core collapse supernovae are among the most powerful and dramatic events in the cosmos. When a massive star reaches the end ...

Collapsing stars might act as cosmic laboratories for discovering hidden neutrino interactions. Neutrinos are among the most puzzling particles in the universe. Nearly massless and incredibly elusive, ...

The theorists predict that the beginning of the end will be in about 10 billion years — less than the present age of the universe.

Astronomers at MIT, Columbia University, and elsewhere have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to peer through the ...

Most of the universe is made up of hydrogen and helium atoms, which came into being after the Big Bang cooled down a little. Heavier atoms are formed during high-energy collisions in stars.

Both teams releasing papers detected the object independently, using different sets of data. Both teams found the same ...

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope is set to embark on a deep-sky survey that could capture nearly 100,000 cosmic explosions, ...

“Transitional millisecond pulsars are cosmic laboratories, helping us understand how neutron stars evolve in binary systems,” ...

Neutrinos are among the most mysterious particles in the universe. They are extremely light, travel close to the speed of ...

Supernovas, kilonovas, gamma-ray bursts... oh my! The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will uncover 100,000 of these ...

Roman’s deep, time-lapse survey may reveal a hundred thousand stellar cataclysms, from distant Type Ia supernovae to the self ...
