New research suggests that powerful star explosions, called supernovae, may have caused at least two mass extinctions in ...

"If a massive star were to explode as a supernova close to the Earth, the results would be devastating for life on Earth," said Nick Wright, an astrophysicist at Keele University in the United Kingdom ...

Exploding stars in near-solar space may have triggered at least two mass extinction events in Earth's history.

Among these are the late Devonian extinction, 372 million years ago, and the late Ordovician extinctions, around 445 million years ago. Somewhere up to 75% or 85% of animal species, mostly marine ...
