NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray spacecraft has observed a super-bright, supercharged supernova explosion powered up by the creation of ...

Few spectacles in space are as phenomenal as supernovae, but a "superkilonova" may give them a run for their money. This type of cosmic outburst is thought to arise when a supernova cascades into a ...

A record-shattering stellar blast has been caught on camera in unprecedented detail, and the footage is forcing astronomers to rethink how stars die. The event, linked to an extreme gamma-ray outburst ...

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope could reveal millions of hidden neutron stars in the Milky Way using gravitational microlensing.

For nearly a decade, scientists have been trying to understand a set of strange blue flashes coming from deep space. These ...

Neutron stars are the densely compact cores remaining as one possible result of a supernova. These star remnants are ...

LSU researchers helped uncover what may be the first clear detection of gamma rays from a superluminous supernova, using data ...

Most gamma-ray bursts—the brightest, most powerful explosions in the universe—are tracked back to the deaths of massive stars. But a new discovery suggests that such enormous explosions can come from ...
