Astronomers have detected the magnetic signature surrounding a gamma-ray burst afterglow for the first time, opening a new way to study the extreme physics behind these cosmic explosions. The ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The James Webb Space Telescope is weighing in on a longstanding debate over why we don’t see more of the most massive red ...

Scientists have detected the most distant supernova ever seen, exploding when the universe was less than a billion years old. The event was first signaled by a gamma-ray burst and later confirmed ...

The universe is haunted by "cosmic ghosts" called neutrinos, which seem to be the "whispers" of stars that died in supernova ...

Artist’s conception of a magnetar surrounded by an accretion disk that is wobbling, or precessing, because of the effects of general relativity. Some models of magnetars suggest that high-speed jets ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new Type II supernova. The newly detected supernova, named SN Eos, exploded when the universe was ...
