Cassiopeia A This image features the Cassiopeia A supernova, an expanding ball of matter and energy ejected from an exploding star. Here, rings of neon blue and brilliant white emit veins of polished ...

Abstract: Cassiopeia A, the youngest supernova remnant known in the Milky Way, is one of the brightest radio sources in the sky and a unique laboratory for supernova physics. Although its compact ...

Abstract: We present observations of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A made over 13 yr at 151 MHz with the Cambridge Low-Frequency Synthesis Telescope. These observations have been used to study the ...

Deaths of nearby massive stars may have played a significant role in triggering at least two mass extinction events in ...

The legendary Hubble Space Telescope has turned its gaze to the Ursa Major-adjacent galaxy UGC 5460, revealing spiral arms, ...

Water may have formed less than 200 million years after the Big Bang, suggesting some conditions for life existed far earlier than previously thought.

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the "devastating" effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers at Keele University say ...

Notably, these two types of stars have different origins: a neutron star is formed when a massive star undergoes a supernova explosion, while a white dwarf emerges when a star with a low to medium ...

This is the conclusion of a team of researchers from Keele University, England, who calculated the rate of supernova explosions in the vicinity of our solar system. Supernovae occur when ...
