Astronomers have long struggled to capture the true nature of stellar nova explosions. However, thanks to cutting-edge techniques, a team of scientists has finally been able to observe these cosmic ...

Nova explosions, which were thought until now to be relatively simple, are actually turning out to be very different. An international team has published in Nature Astronomy images with ...

New high-resolution images show that novae are anything but simple stellar fireworks. One exploded with multiple gas streams colliding almost immediately, while another shockingly delayed its eruption ...

Astronomers have captured images of two stellar explosions—known as novae—within days of their eruption and in unprecedented detail. The breakthrough provides direct evidence that these explosions are ...

Scientists have detected the most distant supernova ever seen, exploding when the universe was less than a billion years old. The event was first signaled by a gamma-ray burst and later confirmed ...
