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 these ...

Situated upstairs, meanwhile, for a handful of years in the 1960s, the building had played host to a now-legendary music ...

In August of that year, Hubble made one of its first discoveries, capturing a glowing 1.3 light-years diameter elliptical ring of gas around the center of the explosion of supernova 1987A on the ...

To emphasize the point, the most recent supernova to be visible to the naked eye, SN 1987A, exploded on the outskirts of 30 Doradus. And from the ashes of this and other dead stars, the beautiful ...

Our goal was to describe and quantify the range of asymmetries produced in the simulation and compare them to observations of real supernovae such as Cas A and SN 1987A with a focus on the ...

For example, at the end of August, 2023, the telescope was focusing its sights on the famous supernova SN 1987A. 168,000 light-years away from Earth, in the Large Magellanic Cloud, SN 1987A has ...

As it nears 35 consecutive years of space service, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken another look at a famous supernova remnant. The Veil Nebula is roughly 2,400 light-years away in ...

A phantom “Super-Jupiter” 13 times more massive than our solar system’s gas giant is drifting through the cosmos around 20 light-years from Earth. Although discovered in 2006, the “free ...
