M83 is located about 15 million light-years away from Earth and is forming stars at a high rate. Using 14 years of Chandra ...
The aftermath of a supernova, a stellar explosion, is usually a slowly fading cloud of hot gas. So when astronomers pointed ...
A new study of two supernova remnants, the debris left behind after stars explode, suggests the explosions came from stellar ...
Learn about a bright blob in the central region of the Milky Way, illuminating what may be a remnant of a massive star that ...
NASA's Chandra X-ray spacecraft has detected the supernova wreckage of a dead star that erupted 1,700 years ago and ejected ...
Astronomers have discovered a superluminous supernova drawing energy from a surrounding glowing structure, challenging current understanding of extreme events.
Over a 14-year period from 2000 to 2014, astronomers pointed NASA’s X-ray observatory at the M83 galaxy. They discovered that ...
Astronomers have witnessed the birth of a rapidly spinning, highly magnetized neutron star or "magnetar" for the first time. The observation of this event, triggered by the death of a massive star, ...
An international team of astronomers believes it has found evidence of one of the closest supernova ever to have occured near the center of the galaxy.
A star appears to have exploded near the centre of our galaxy at least 1,700 years ago. The light from that event is long ...
