The mysterious 10-second flash of energy, first detected in March, has been identified thanks to NASA's ever-impressive James ...

A record-shattering stellar blast has been caught on camera in unprecedented detail, and the footage is forcing astronomers to rethink how stars die. The event, linked to an extreme gamma-ray outburst ...

The mystery of dark matter could be solved in as little as 10 seconds. When the next nearby supernova goes off, any gamma-ray telescope pointing in the right direction might be treated to more than a ...

What was that? More information about a mysterious, energetic burst, formally known as a gamma-ray burst (GRB), spotted in space 13 billion light-years away from Earth, has been unveiled. The first ...

One of the biggest questions in the scientific world right now revolves around something we can't see, and can't directly detect in any other way either. Based on the movements of galaxies, ...

After a hot, compact neutron star forms from the collapsed iron core of a massive star, axions should be produced in immense quantities for about 10 seconds. Some of these axions (a, red dotted line) ...

Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope and gravitational lensing to observe SN Eos, an ordinary supernova from the ...

Earlier this year, a powerful gamma-ray burst traveled through space from a very distant source in the cosmos. The explosion was traced back to the early universe, just millions of years after the Big ...

An international team of astronomers, working with researchers from University College Dublin and other institutions, has detected a supernova from an era once thought far beyond reach. Using the ...

"The best-case scenario for axions is Fermi catches a supernova. It's just that the chance of that is small." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...
