supernova

The research can mimic laboratory phenomena typically found in astrophysical objects like magnetars, supernovae, and the regions in the vicinity of black holes.

An international team of researchers has made new observations of an unusual supernova, finding the most metal-poor stellar explosion ever observed.

The search for the universe's dark matter could end tomorrow -- given a nearby supernova and a little luck.

The new observations reveal a star puffing out gas and dust, in the last stages before it becomes a supernova.

This discovery could also help explain cosmic events like supernova explosions and gravitational waves, since binaries containing one or more of these compact dead stars are thought to be the origin of such phenomena.
