That the universe is expanding has been known for almost a hundred years now, but how fast? The exact rate of that expansion ...
A small, seemingly technical assumption baked into the way astronomers standardize Type Ia supernovae may be responsible for the growing tension between different measurements of dark energy. New data ...
He came up with a new one, called the Late-Transition Interacting Thawer (LTIT) model, which models how dark energy could "thaw" after a certain amount of time after the universe started and is slowly ...
Astronomers report a supergiant star in the Andromeda Galaxy, M31-2014-DS1, collapsed directly into a black hole without a supernova, confirming predictions of failed stellar explosions.
An international team of astronomers has conducted photometric and spectroscopic observations of a recently discovered ...
Supernova 1987A appeared in the far-southern constellation of Doradus (the Swordfish), in which the Large Magellanic Cloud is ...
A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...
The Hubble Space Telescope captured imagery of supernova 2018 GV from 2018-2019. It was seen in barred spiral galaxy NGC 2525 ...
A type Ia supernova occurs when a white dwarf — the cooling remnant of an aging star — draws hydrogen from a companion sun. When the dwarf reaches 1.4 times the mass of the Sun, the star spontaneously ...
