Supernovas are the dramatic death of certain types of stars. These brilliant points of light marking a star’s end of life can briefly outshine entire galaxies and radiate more energy than our sun will ...

Supernovae, exploding stars, play a critical role in the formation and evolution of galaxies. However, key aspects of them are notoriously difficult to simulate accurately in reasonably short amounts ...

A mesmerising 3D simulation reveals what it would loo like to fly through the very heart of an exploded supernova 11,000 light years away. Based on observations from a number of telescopes, a science ...

The origin of the Solar System is one of the fundamental problems in astrophysics. The general mechanism is well understood–a giant cloud of gas and dust must have collapsed to form the Sun and ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Michigan State University are using Mira to perform large-scale 3-D simulations of the final moments of a supernova’s life cycle. While the 3-D simulation approach is ...

Machine-learning technology developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory played a key role in the discovery of supernova ASASSN-15lh, an exceptionally powerful explosion that was 570 billion times ...

This visualization depicts a massive star about to collapse and explode into a supernova. Researchers found in the new simulation that the wrinkles that develop just before collapse are crucial to ...

Enormous stars collapse in ultramassive supernova explosions — now in 3D! For the first time ever, researchers have turned back the clock on a star's final moments to simulate how wrinkles in its ...
