Astronomers uncover the first direct evidence for how some white dwarf stars explode, confirming the long-debated ...

Astronomers had long been suspecting that some stars do meet their end of life with a dual detonation and new images prove ...

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 ...

The NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens mission explored Saturn and its moons from 2004 to 2017, providing the most detailed images and ...
