The study, published in Nature and featured on its cover, describes the supernova, SN2021yfj, as unusually rich in heavy elements such as silicon, sulfur and argon. Most supernovae typically reveal ...

The unique event, dubbed supernova 2021yfj, revealed the star had shed its outer layers of hydrogen and helium, and its dense ...

A supernova blast 2.2 billion light-years from Earth has given astronomers a deeper view into a star's centre than ever ...

Scientists for the first time have spotted the insides of a dying star as it exploded, offering a rare peek into stellar ...

For the first time, astrophysicists detected a supernova embedded in a wind rich with silicon, sulfur and argon. Observations suggest the massive star lost its outer hydrogen and helium layers long ...

Before exploding, a star shed most of its layers, giving a glimpse at a massive star’s deep interior. The event may represent a new kind of supernova.

The protocol used to find these young supernova explosions could be used on data from the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

The rare blast peeled back the inner layers of a dying star, offering clues to how the elements that make up life on Earth were forged.

A rare supernova let scientists glimpse a star's interior, revealing a dense silicon-sulphur shell and unexpected helium that ...
