Chris Ashall, an assistant astronomer at the UH Mānoa Institute for Astronomy, was part of the global team that zeroed in on the stellar explosion known as SN 2024ggi. The supernova was first spotted ...

Scientists have observed the early stages of a star's violent death – a supernova – for the first time. The shape of these ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, captured the moment a massive star exploded, observing the blast just as it burst ...

For the first time, astronomers have managed to observe the moment a shock wave is released from an exploding star prepared to die, revealing an unexpected astonishing explosion. It is usually difficu ...

Some of the earliest images ever taken in the wake of massive star’s death give astronomers important clues about what triggers a supernova.

When this shock reaches the surface, it releases an enormous burst of energy. The star brightens dramatically, becoming visible as a supernova. For a short period, astronomers can study the initial ...

Swift observations with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) have revealed the explosive ...
