Swift observations with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) have revealed the explosive ...

This rapid reaction required astronomers to use a technique called spectropolarimetry to gather information about the ...

Chris Ashall, an assistant astronomer at the UH Mānoa Institute for Astronomy, was part of the global team that zeroed in on the stellar explosion known as SN 2024ggi. The supernova was first spotted ...

For the first time, scientists determined the shape of a supernova's shock front as it burst through the surface of a dying ...

The explosive death of a star - a supernova - is among the most violent cosmic events, but precisely how this cataclysm looks ...

When this shock reaches the surface, it releases an enormous burst of energy. The star brightens dramatically, becoming visible as a supernova. For a short period, astronomers can study the initial ...

Scientists now have observed for the first time the very early stages of a supernova, with a massive star exploding in a ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, recorded the moment a star’s explosion broke through its surface. The nearby supernova, SN 2024ggi, revealed a surprisingly olive-shaped blast when studied with ...

This artist’s impression shows a star going supernova. About 22 million light-years away the supernova, SN 2024ggi, exploded ...

OctopusEffects, #Blender This is a Blender tutorial video made on Blender version 3.2. Tutorial for creating an animated explosion in cartoon style. The project is mainly done in the Shader Editor, th ...

When a star explodes, it expands at high speed. What a supernova looks like immediately after its onset was therefore unknown ...

On April 10, 2024, astronomers began the fast-paced mission to capture supernova SN 2024ggi. Study coauthor Yi Yang of Tsinghua University in China initially learned about its sighting shortly after ...
