NASA has released an unprecedented time-lapse video showing the evolution of Kepler’s Supernova Remnant, a cosmic relic of a massive stellar explosion. Captured by the Chandra X-ray Observatory over ...

The only known supernova remnant of its kind in the Milky Way has an unexpectedly intricate structure: chains of gas knots ...

Astronomers captured the clearest view yet of Pa 30, the likely remains of a stellar explosion witnessed nearly 850 years ago ...

Learn about the remnant of a historic supernova observed around 850 years ago and the zombie star that has survived at its center.

The new image isn’t just stunning—it may also provide clues about how this star survived its own explosion. Previous images of the explosion’s remnants had also captured a sphere of long, ...

When massive stars reach the end of their lives and explode in a supernova, they can leave behind huge structures in space called supernova remnants. These are often favorite targets of astronomers ...

Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, astronomers from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Charlottesville, Virginia, and elsewhere have investigated a batch of 36 high latitude supernova ...

A stunning new image of a supernova remnant combines data from four different telescopes to show a colorful, detailed picture of a busy region of space. The remnant 30 Doradus B (or 30 Dor B) was ...

The aftermath of a supernova, a stellar explosion, is usually a slowly fading cloud of hot gas. So when astronomers pointed NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory at the nearby galaxy Messier 83 (M83), they ...

Welcome to the Daily Telescope. There is a little too much darkness in this world and not enough light, a little too much pseudoscience and not enough science. We'll let other publications offer you a ...

The Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched in 1999 aboard the space shuttle Columbia and is one of the most powerful space telescopes. Thanks to instruments such as the Advanced CCD Imaging ...

IC 443 is one of the most extensively studied supernova remnants in the Galaxy, yet the surrounding region remains shrouded in mystery. Here we show that 16 years of Fermi-LAT observations uncover ...
