When a massive star runs out of fuel and approaches the end of its life, it explodes in a huge outpouring of energy called a supernova. These events can be so bright that they outshine entire galaxies ...

The somewhat amorphous spiral galaxy UGC 2890 appears side-on in this image from the Hubble Space Telescope, with bright foreground stars studding the image. This galaxy, which lies around 30 million ...

Thanks to a cosmic magic trick, the Hubble Space Telescope witnesses three different moments in a star's explosive death process. Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a ...

Through a phenomenon called gravitational lensing, three different moments in a far-off supernova explosion were captured in a single snapshot by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The light from the ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has identified a star that was one million times brighter than the Sun before it exploded as a supernova in 2005. According to current theories of stellar evolution, the ...

The Hubble Space Telescope snapped a new view of a hazy spiral galaxy that once hosted a supernova explosion. The galaxy, formally known as NGC 941, lies about 55 million light-years from Earth. Its ...

This week’s image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a stunning view of a spiral galaxy called UGC 12295, located nearly 200 million light-years away. This galaxy appears face-on from Earth, ...

The Hubble Telescope has captured a true blast from the past, spotting the colossal explosion of a star from over 11 billion years ago in the first detailed look of a supernova so early in the ...

Over the last few decades, we've gotten much better at observing supernovae as they're happening. Orbiting telescopes can now pick up the high-energy photons emitted and figure out their source, ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope watched a distant star die, explode, and fade away in rare detail. The star died more than 11 billion years ago, when the universe was less than a fifth of its current ...
