Astronomers have observed a star's double explosion in unprecedented detail, revealing two distinct layers of debris. This discovery sheds light on the mechanisms behind Type Ia supernovae and their role in measuring the universe's expansion.
Recent studies suggest that the universe's first stars may not have been solely massive giants. Discoveries reveal the potential existence of lower-mass stars, reshaping our understanding of the cosmos.
Arp 184, a peculiar spiral galaxy captured by Hubble, is a stunning sight located 190 million light-years away in Camelopardalis. Learn about its unique features and the astronomical events it has witnessed!
A groundbreaking discovery reveals that a binary star system just 150 light-years away will explode in a Type Ia supernova in 23 billion years. This finding confirms a long-theorized origin of supernovae, changing our understanding of cosmic events.
A new study suggests dark energy, the force driving cosmic expansion, may be weakening, challenging decades of scientific understanding and hinting at a possible 'big crunch' scenario.
Scientists have created woolly mice to study genetic traits of extinct mammoths, explored hornet diets, and uncovered primordial water from supernovae. Plus, a hopeful update on the ozone layer's recovery!
A recent study suggests water may have formed just 100–200 million years after the Big Bang, challenging existing timelines on cosmic evolution and life’s crucial ingredient.
A groundbreaking study reveals that Earth's water may have originated from supernova explosions shortly after the Big Bang, suggesting that conditions for life existed billions of years earlier than previously believed.
