James Webb has spotted the most distant supernova ever seen, exploding just 730 million years after the Big Bang, offering ...

Here is a look at just a few of the biggest developments in astronomy that The Debrief has been tracking in 2025.

Scientists have detected the most distant supernova ever seen, exploding when the universe was less than a billion years old.

What can imaging supernovae (plural for supernova) explosions teach astronomers about their behavior and physical characteristics? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning images of Sagittarius B2, a massive molecular cloud near the Milky Way's ...

A nova 3,000 light-years away is due to become visible from Earth. T Coronae Borealis could be visible to the naked eye in the coming weeks. A few tips can help you see this cosmic burst, which will ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope report that a powerful gamma-ray burst detected in March may have been produced by the explosion of a massive star just 730 million years after the Big ...

"The sheer amount of radiated energy from these bursts is so large that you can't power them with a core collapse stellar ...

Almost half of the calcium in the universe originates from supernova explosions. Using a slew of Earth-bound telescopes, researchers watched the calcium-producing supernova SN 2019ehk. SN 2019ehk ...

The true origins of the Earth’s heaviest elements like gold have eluded astrophysicists for decades. The prevailing scientific view is that neutron star collisions created gold and other heavy ...

Astronomers traced a mysterious 'scar' of ionized gas around the solar system to two stars that had a close flyby with our ...

Beyond better testing, we need better protection. Physical shields seem like the obvious first defense. Hydrogen-rich materials such as polyethylene and water-absorbing hydrogels can slow charged ...
