A deep-space photo of the Jellyfish Nebula in Gemini shows a brain-like structure, capturing the supernova remnant IC 443 and surrounding interstellar gas and stars.
New studies reveal how metallicity and stellar evolution determine whether massive stars expand into red supergiants prior to Type II supernova explosions.
The nebula IC 443 is, in reality, a vast supernova remnant composed of stellar debris cast off in the cataclysmic death of an enormous star. The stellar body that spawned the remn ...
Dan M. Mrejeru presents an exploration of how environmental forces and cognitive shifts shaped the modern human mind ...
When most people think of a supernova, they're thinking of a Type II core-collapse supernova. These are massive stars that have reached the end of their time on the main sequence. They've used up ...
An extraordinarily rare, gravitationally lensed supernova may offer a powerful new way to measure the universe’s expansion rate.
