When the bright star Betelgeuse explodes, it will be an impressive sight. The stellar explosion, known as a supernova, will be brighter than any planet and almost as bright as the full moon.

Today, we know them to be not stars being born but stars in their death throes, and we call the event a supernova. (The earliest record of a possible supernova appears in a prehistoric rock carving ...

Astronomers’ best view yet of the aftermath of a “guest star” supernova seen in 12th-century China and Japan has revealed one of the strangest objects in the heavens. It consists of hundreds ...

When a supernova was seen glittering in the night sky for six months in 1181, it was so bright that Chinese and Japanese astronomers recorded it as a “guest star” in the Cassiopeia constellation.

A celestial light show illuminates a distant spiral galaxy, where a hidden supernova briefly outshines its stellar neighbors in a new image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxy, called NGC ...

Have no fear—affinity diagrams are here to save you from getting overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data you’ve gathered. They’ll help you navigate through and organize your data in an incredibly ...

New observations, reported in the Nov. 1 Astrophysical Journal Letters, capture the 3-D structure and motion of debris left in the wake of a supernova that was seen to detonate almost 900 years ago.

Some libraries / applications built on top of diagram-js: ...

In it, the “behemoth” star appears to puff out gas and dust, a critical final step before exploding in a supernova. The star, known as WOH G64, is 160,000 light-years from Earth in the Large ...
