Do we live in a supernova graveyard? A team of researchers proposes that 10 million years ago two giant neutron stars crashed ...

New research suggests the violent explosions of dying stars may have caused two of Earth’s biggest mass extinctions millions ...

After finding the debris of two colliding stars swimming in the ocean, researchers are after more evidence from the lunar ...

Plutonium discovered at the bottom of the ocean was found to be refuse from a kilonova that exploded close to Earth 10 ...

Specifically, the findings support the hypothesis that supernovae could have triggered two of the so-called "big five" mass ...

More massive stars than the Sun have a very different life cycle and follow the right hand path in the diagram above: \({Nebula}\rightarrow{protostar}\rightarrow{main~sequence~star}\rightarrow{red ...

What's the deadliest part of a supernova explosion? To estimate this we have to look at what the actual destructive capabilities are of a supernova. As in, what does a supernova produce?

They then performed supernova simulations to determine how ... and elucidate the underlying stellar evolution and explosion physics." Overall, the simulations performed by Müller, Heger and ...

Exploding stars known as supernovas may have sparked mass extinctions that wiped out up to 85% of animals on Earth.

This chemical process proceeded slowly, since the density of atoms in the outer regions of the expanding supernova blasts was low. This low density means it was unlikely two elements would meet ...

The Big Bang produced hydrogen and helium. All the other elements have been produced by nuclear fusion reactions in stars and supernova explosions.
