Astronomers have witnessed the first superkilonova, a double-barreled cosmic blast fusing kilonova and supernova energies, revealing neutron stars lighter than theory allows and rewriting the rules of stellar death.
In a cosmic twist defying all known physics, scientists have witnessed a superkilonova—a monstrous fusion of neutron star collision and supernova—that births suns from shattered stars and floods the universe...
In a breakthrough that rewrites the origins of supermassive black holes, astronomers have detected chemical fingerprints from colossal 'monster stars' that blazed at the universe's dawn, collapsing directly into the...
Astronomers have, for the first time, watched a nearby star literally tear its way out of its own surface—revealing a bizarre olive-shaped blast that may rewrite what we think supernovae...
In a stunning revelation from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the Infinity Galaxy—a figure-eight collision of cosmic titans potentially forging a supermassive black hole from ionized chaos,...
