Astronomers studying the remnant SNR 0509-67.5 have finally caught a white dwarf in the act of a rare “double-detonation” supernova, where an initial helium blast on the star’s surface triggers a ...

For the first time, astronomers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end by detonating twice. By studying the centuries-old remains of supernova SNR 0509-67.5 with the European Southern ...

Scientists have obtained photographic evidence of a double-detonation Type Ia supernova for the first time. This rare cosmic ...

The James Webb telescope has made another stunning discovery -- this time of a massive planet that could potentially sustain ...

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

This image, taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), shows the supernova remnant SNR 0509-67.5. These are the expanding ...
