What is a supernova?
Andy Briggs in ASTRONOMY ESSENTIALS | November 12, 2020

A supernova is a star’s colossal explosion at the end of its life, potentially outshining its entire galaxy. Read about the causes and types of supernovae here.


A supernova is the name given to the cataclysmic explosion of a massive star at the end of its life. It can emit more energy in a few seconds than our sun will radiate in its lifetime of billions of...

Smile, wave: Some exoplanets may be able to see us, too
Cornell University | 21 October 2020

Three decades after Cornell astronomer Carl Sagan suggested that Voyager 1 snap Earth's picture from billions of miles away -- resulting in the iconic Pale Blue Dot photograph -- two astronomers now offer another unique cosmic perspective: Some exoplanets -- planets from beyond our own solar system -- have a direct line of sight to observe Earth's biological qualities from...

Astronomers see a star ‘spaghettified’ by a black hole
Deborah Byrd in SPACE | October 13, 2020

Astronomers have spotted a rare blast of light from a star being ripped apart by a supermassive black hole. The phenomenon – known as a tidal disruption event – is the closest such flare recorded to date at just over 215 million light-years from Earth.


It must be wonderful for astronomers when a concept they learned about in school as theory is...

Will Universe End with ‘Black Dwarf’ Supernova Explosions?
News Staff, Sci News Staff | Aug 20, 2020

A series of ‘black dwarf’ supernovae will be the last astrophysical events to occur in our Universe prior to the so-called heat death, when the Universe will be populated only by black holes and ‘frozen’ white dwarfs, according to a paper by Illinois State University theoretical physicist Matt Caplan.
